DRINKING HABITS is a farce in two acts. Sister Augusta, (Dorene Weltzin), and Sister Philamena, (Diane Thorp), have been secretly making and selling wine for years to keep the doors of their small convent open. But when their wine suddenly wins an award worth a half-million dollars, newspaper reporters (and former fianc?es) Paul, (Corey Graf), and Sally, (Margritte Graf), begin searching for the winners.
As Sally and Paul spy on the convent, they are caught by Mother Superior, (Deanna Snow). Sally pretends to be the new nun Mother Superior was expecting, and Paul claims to be a visiting priest. But when Father Chenille (Josh Thornwall), sees Paul, he suspects Rome of sending out a new priest to replace him. And when the actual new nun, Sister Mary Catherine, (Bethany Nash), does arrive, Mother Superior believes her to be a spy from Rome, sent out to investigate the convent.
Chaos ensues as Augusta and Philamena secretly try to press more wine, Paul and Sally try to find the winemakers, and Mother Superior and Father Chenille spy on the suspected spies.
A traditional, laugh-out-loud farce for the whole family that will keep audiences laughing well after the curtain call!
