Gulf Coast Theater Review: ‘Til Death Do Us Part: Late Nite Catechism 3

If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if Sister Mary Clarence from Sister Act put on Judge Judy’s robe and a halo, your prayers have been answered — and they come with extra sass and a side of sacrament.

‘Til Death Do Us Part: Late Nite Catechism 3, actress Denise Marie Christina Fennell doesn’t just break the fourth wall — she turns it into a confessional booth and pulls you in for a penance-filled punchline. Armed with divine timing and a ruler-sharp wit, she transforms a simple classroom into a comedy chapel, serving up laughs that are equal parts catechism and comedy roast.

Whether she’s offering not-so-holy marital advice or putting real-life couples in the hot seat for a heavenly version of The Newlywed Game, Sister spares no soul — and the audience is better (and sore from laughing) for it.

Fennell doesn’t just play sister — she is sister, with enough heart, soul, and sanctified snark to fill a convent. Her performance is so spirited, it might just count as your Sunday obligation. Bonus points if you make it through without confessing to something embarrassing.

You don’t have to be Catholic to laugh, though a little guilt in your spiritual toolkit might amplify the punchlines. Either way, this show is sinfully funny and blessedly a good time.

Bring your spouse. Bring your neighbor. Bring someone you’d like to see publicly shamed in the name of comedy. It’s worth seeing more than once because so much improv allows each show to be different. Because, as sister says, “You’ll need marriage and last rites eventually. Why not laugh your way through both?”

I can’t remember the last time I’ve laughed so hard. I promise you a good time with this one. There’s still plenty of time to get a seat in sister’s next class. You can get your tickets by calling the Florida Repertory Theatre Box Office: 239-332-4488.
