Fight breaks out over Late Nite Catechism.Someone call Sister, there's a catfight cat·fight n. 1. A fight between or among cats. 2. Informal A vociferous dispute: a catfight between farmers and the government over subsidies. on the set of Late Nite Catechism catechism (kăt`əkĭzəm) [Gr.,=oral instruction], originally oral instruction in religion, later written instruction. Catechisms are usually written in the form of questions and answers. ! The creators of the wildly popular and ever-expanding theater production about growing up Catholic are battling it out in court over who owns the rights to the script, the show, and the characters. When Catechism hit unexpected success in a small Chicago theater 12 years ago, Maripat Donovan and Vicki Quade were good friends. Now, Donovan--who is the original star of the one-woman show--says in the Chicago Tribune Chicago Tribune Daily newspaper published in Chicago. The Tribune is one of the leading U.S. newspapers and long has been the dominant voice of the Midwest. Founded in 1847, it was bought in 1855 by six partners, including Joseph Medill (1823–99), who made the paper , "I'll spend every penny I have in the world and every penny I'll ever make to sue [Quade] in every court in the world." Ouch! Donovan says she cooked up Catechism and the Sister character while joking around with friends at a dinner party. She recorded her ideas on tape and Quade came in later to transcribe To copy data from one medium to another; for example, from one source document to another, or from a source document to the computer. It often implies a change of format or codes. and edit. (Two years later, the dinner party friends would sue for their fair share of the intellectual property as well.) Quade disagrees, asserting as·sert tr.v. as·sert·ed, as·sert·ing, as·serts 1. To state or express positively; affirm: asserted his innocence. 2. To defend or maintain (one's rights, for example). that it was she who conceived the script and that Donovan was named as a writer only out of friendly courtesy. Doesn't the real Catechism have some advice for these two? |
