Saints and SinnersSaints and Sinners
Royal George Theatre

Chicago Tribune- Somewhat Recommended

"...The comedy tends to the mild side, and while Sister's brief lectures about various saints reach a level of edu-tainment, the show is best when she disciplines the audience, such as the owner of a ringing cell phone who was compelled to hand over the offending device."

Chicago Reader- Recommended

"...The premise is that the audience is a fund-raising committee for a parish so financially strapped that--says Mother Superior, in a line that exemplifies the show's good-natured but not very clever humor--"we're down to six deadly sins." Viewers steeped in Catholic-school tradition may enjoy bantering with the bossy nun (played alternately by Quade's cowriters Lisa Buscani and Elaine Carlson), and the environmental set--a musty classroom adorned with out-of-date maps, portraits of President Kennedy and Pope Benedict XVI, student artwork, and a penmanship guide--is a treat."

Windy City Times- Somewhat Recommended

"...Saints & Sinners should appease fans of the whole Late Nite Catechism franchise. It's definitely more of the same, which can be a blessing since you go in already with a general idea of what you're going to get."
