Call it Loretta Young meets Carol Burnett, with a little Whoopi Goldberg thrown in, LATE NITE CATEHCISM is part catechism class, part stand-up comedy routine. Written by Vicki Quade & Maripat Donovan, it's an interactive comedy, one of the longest running shows in Chicago and U.S. theater history.

Guccione performed for 20 years with the Lyric Opera of Chicago and in several productions with Chicago's Folks Operetta. She has sung extensively throughout the U.S., Europe and South Africa. She also performed in several sketch comedy and improv shows with Salsation Theatre Company.

Guccione is a faculty member at Dominican University in River Forest, Illinois, where she teaches music and arts entrepreneurship courses. She also has her own singing telegram company called OperaGram.com.

Now celebrating its 28th year, LATE NITE CATECHISM opened in 1993 and had been running in Chicago ever since, only forced to take a break during the pandemic.

In addition to Guccione, the role of "Sister" will continue to feature Second City alum Jenna Steege, as well as long-standing actresses Liz Cloud and Mary Zentmyer.

Since opening in May of 1993 at Live Bait Theatre in Chicago, LATE NITE CATECHISM has seen three popes, three cardinals, four presidents, three Chicago mayors, at least a dozen Chicago area theaters, 20 local actresses, and provided laughter to more than 3.5 million audience members in more than 410 cities, playing in six countries on four continents. Worldwide, the show has grossed more than $100 million in box office receipts.

In addition, LATE NITE CATECHISM has helped raise more than $3 million for the retirement funds of various orders of nuns. The New York Times calls it "hilarious, well-written and inspired." The Chicago Reader calls it "a top-notch comedy." Jeffrey Lyons from TV's Sneak Previews called LATE NITE CATECHISM "something to savor and enjoy....one of the most intimate, rewarding shows in town."

Tickets for all shows are $35. Tickets are available online at: greenhousetheatercenter.thundertix.com. Or by calling the box office at 773-404-7336.
