Auditions for world premiere of "Drinking Habits 2: Caught in the Act" at ABOB!
by Clay Nielsen via NEohioPAL 29 Sep '15

29 Sep '15

Arlene’s Broadway on Buffalo (ABOB), 236 Buffalo Street in Conneaut, OH, will hold auditions for its world premiere production of “Drinking Habits 2: Caught in the Act” on Wednesday and Thursday, Sept. 30 and Oct. 1, from 7-9 p.m. each date at the theater. Readings will be from the script. Written by Tom Smith, the play is a brand-new sequel to the original “Drinking Habits” and continues the adventures of the Sisters of Perpetual Sewing Convent. "Drinking Habits 2: Caught in the Act" is a comedy/farce in two acts. The same characters from "Drinking Habits" return (5w, 3m and the same location). Sister Augusta and Sister Philamena have grown weary of life in the convent. So when they receive word that an orphanage will be closed down unless the convent can raise the money to save it, the sisters plot to make their award-winning wine, hiding it from the ever-watchful eye of Mother Superior. Meanwhile, Paul is still reeling from having been left at the altar a second time by his former fiancée, Sally. Determined to save the orphanage he grew up in, Paul, along with Mother Superior, Father Chenille, his very pregnant sister Kate and her husband George, decides to mount a play to raise the money the orphanage needs. But when Mother Superior believes she’s had a vision, George can’t remember his lines, and Kate can’t stop her uncontrollable cravings, things are thrown into chaos just as the curtain rises. Performance dates are Nov. 13-15 and 20-22. Curtain is at 7:30 each night.
