[NEohioPAL] Funnery in the Nunnery - Auditions for "Drinking Habits" This coming weekend!

[Michael Cranston via NEohioPAL]

The Wadsworth Footlighters kick off the Spring Season with their production
of Drinking Habits by Tom Smith. This fast paced comedy follows The Sisters
of Perpetual Sewing, two nuns in a small convent, trying to keep the doors
open by secretly making and selling wine to the local townspeople. The only
problem is the two nuns have been keeping their secret from Mother
Superior, who hates wine so much she can't even mention the word. Add on a
Padre who is an amateur magician , a good natured Groundskeeper, a Novice
nun and two snooping reporters who happen to be a formerly affianced couple
who are on the hunt for evidence of an illegal wine making racket in the
community to the point of being mistaken for either new clergy transferred
to the Order or spies sent from Rome to shut down the convent, and you have
a zany show that guarantees to uncork a magnum of laughs.

Auditions will occur at Grace Lutheran Church located at 146 High Street,
Wadsworth, OH 44281 on the following dates:

Sunday, March 19th at 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm

Monday, March 20th at 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm.
