Supporting the Arts
Entertainment Events has presented shows in over 250 cities in the US, Canada, Ireland, Australia and the UK. Our shows have grossed over $100 million dollars in box office. While Entertainment Events does many professional engagements annually, we have also helped many schools, arts groups, churches, Knights of Columbus, hospitals and other civic organizations raise considerable amounts to help with their ongoing needs. The Late Nite Catechism series alone as played over 40,000 performances having been seen by over 10 million audience members worldwide. On many occasions, we have brought theatre to communities that do not have live theatres or performing arts centers in their area. Many of our audience members have never attended a professional theatrical production before.
Supporting Communities
Beside helping civic organizations with fundraising, the Late Nite Catechism franchise also raises money for Sisters all across the country; and it’s expected to bring in over $100,000 this year alone. Did you know that nuns do not receive Social Security? Maripat Donovan discovered that, when Social Security was implemented in the United States, the Catholic Church opted out for the nuns. In fact, many convents have had to depend on welfare in order to care for their elderly and infirm. At the end of each performance, we encourage everyone in the audience to give generously! To date, Late Nite Catechism has collected over two million dollars for retired Sisters.
