Drinking Habits by Tom Smith

Type: Theater
Braid Productions holding Open Auditions for Drinking Habits by Tom Smith
Directed by Jeremy Woloski
Synopsis: Accusations, mistaken identities, and romances run wild in this traditional, laugh-out-loud farce. Two nuns at the Sisters of Perpetual Sewing have been secretly making wine to keep the convent’s doors open, but Paul and Sally, 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, spurs paranoia throughout the convent that spies have been sent from Rome to shut them down. Wine and secrets are inevitably spilled as everyone tries to preserve the convent and reconnect with lost loves.
Roles:
The age range listed with the characters is just a suggested age range.
It does not mean that the actor has to be within that age range.
Sister Philamena (F) – Age range 20s – mid 50s. One of the three nuns who live at the Sisters of Perpetual Sewing convent. Has secretly been making wine for several years with Sister Augusta in order to keep the convent open. Both Sister Philamena and Sister Augusta are devout and are dedicated to their calling. They are also joyful and humorous.
Sister Augusta (F) – Age range 20s – mid 50s. One of the three nuns who live at the Sisters of Perpetual Sewing convent.

Paul (M) – Age range 20s – 30s. Newspaper reporter. Co-worker and former fiancé of Sally. Paul is an orphan. He’s a good writer, but his conscience sometimes gets in the way of his reporting.
Sally (F) – Age range 20s – 30s. Award-winning newspaper reporter. Used to be engaged to Paul. Left him standing at the altar on their wedding day to cover and important story. Quick witted and sometimes sharp tongued.
Sister Mary Catherine (F) – Age range 20s – early 30s. A novice nun sent to the convent to finish her training. Meek and timid.
Father Chenille (M) – Age range 40s to early 60s. Priest of the local parish that the convent is next to. Patient, understanding, and a little clumsy.
