But longer term analysis of seasonal flowering patterns and other natural events do indicate that global warming may be playing a role in how early wildflowers begin popping up in the high country.

Late Nite Catechism
By Vicki Quade & Maripat Donovan, Ongoing; call for dates and times,
Stage 2, Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, Single ticket
price: $36, The longest-running play in the Valley is still in a
class by itself! Audience members are the students in catechism
class, and Patti Hannon is "Sister" in this hilarious interactive
comedy. You better be on your best behavior, or else Sister is
likely to put you in the corner‹on stage! Every performance is
unique and will appeal to all, regardless of one¹s faith.
Late Nite Catechism II: Sometimes We Feel Guilty Because We Are
Guilty By Maripat
Donovan, Ongoing; call for dates and times,
Stage 2, Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, Single ticket
price: $36, That¹s right, the fun continues in Sister¹s second
catechism class! You don¹t need to graduate from the first class to
enjoy this one; Sister will give extra attention to her slower
students. Sister has felt banners, a filmstrip, handouts, historical
facts and hysterical insights to explain every nun¹s goal: getting
into heaven and bringing along as many of the faithful as possible.
Using a special version of Chutes and Ladders to demonstrate her
point, Sister tells us where we¹ve gone wrong, and no one is excused
from her firm belief that "sometimes we feel guilty because we are
guilty."
