Put the Nuns in Charge

Sunday, August 24, 2:00 p.m.

Chicago's Royal George Theatre returns to the Museum for a special one-time-only performance. Sister is back in the classroom, and the Seven Deadly Sins have never been funnier. This time she's talking about everything from skirt lengths to cell phones, iPods to eBay. Despite today's modern problems, everything in Sister's world relates back to her Catholic upbringing.

This performance is presented in conjunction with the Catholic Chicago exhibition.

Cost:
Free with Museum admission
