Q. What's black and white and funny all over? A. Drinking Habits performed by The Wadsworth Footlighters.
by Michael Cranston via NEohioPAL 08 May '17

08 May '17

Don't miss this hilarious farce of the highest order. Accusations, mistaken identities, and romances flow freely as two nuns of the Sisters of Perpetual Sewing who have been secretly making wine to keep the doors of the convent open, despite Mother Superior's abhorrence to any form of spirit. Enter Sally and Paul, reporters and former fiancees, whose feelings have been bottled up as they go undercover as a nun and priest to case the story that will uncork their careers. Will an additional nun with secrets of her own, a priest who dabbles in amateur prestidigitation, and an understated groundskeeper keep the cork on the goings on? This show has hints of Motown, Charlie Chaplin, Sister Act, and has a strong bouquet of laughs and giggles and pairs well with dates. Specifically, May 18 through May 21. To sample the intoxication of comedy, go to http://www.wadsworthfootlighters.com/Box-Office.html to purchase your tickets. Tickets are $20 and include intermission dessert and adult coffee and tea bar.
