DRINKING HABITS 2 - Caught in the Act
By Tom Smith​
​
February 8, 14, 15, 21 & 22 at 8pm
February 9 & 16 at 3pm

​The Sisters of Perpetual Sewing miss the excitement of the old days when they were saving convents and reuniting long-lost families. So when they learn that the orphanage where Paul and Kate grew up is in peril, they can't wait to come to the rescue. Everyone pitches in to mount a play to raise money, but it's no easy feat when Kate's expecting any day, Sally's hiding from stage-fright-stricken Paul after another flight from the altar, Mother Superior's acting is unexpectedly narcoleptic, and the sisters' award-winning wine keeps getting switched with the grape juice. The merry mix-ups multiply in this warm and winsome sequel to Drinking Habits.

​Directed by ED BASSETT with Stage Manager AMBER LYN DUNPHY
