Under the direction of Dr. Rex T. McGraw, the Marion Art Center Players will present “Drinking Habits” a laugh out loud farce in two acts by Tom Smith on Nov. 7, 8, 14 and 15 at 7:30 p.m. and a matinee at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 9.

Accusations, mistaken identities, and romances run wild in this traditional farce. Two nuns, Sister Augusta and Sister Philamena (played by Kim Teeves and Linda Landry) at the Sisters of Perpetual Sewing have been secretly making wine to keep the convent’s doors open, unbeknownst to Mother Superior (played by Suzie Kokkins). But Paul and Sally (played by Suzy and Gary Taylor), reporters and former fiancées, are hot on their trail. They go undercover as a nun and priest, but their presence, combined with the addition of a new nun, Sister Mary Catherine (played by Michele Letourneau), spurs paranoia throughout the convent.

Tickets are $12.50 for art center members and $15 for general admission.  Guests are invited to bring their own refreshments. Cabaret tables are available for reserved parties of four or more.

Reservations are highly recommended. Call 508-748-1266 or email marionartcenter@verizon.net. Leave a message with your name, phone number, the number of tickets needed and the show date.
