Hard Road Theatre announces auditions for their upcoming winter production, DRINKING HABITS, directed by Tom Varner.

Two nuns at the Sisters of the Perpetual Sewing have been secretly making wine to keep the convent’s doors open, but reporters Paul and Sally (also former fiancées) are hot on their trail. They go undercover as a nun and a priest, but the their presence, combined with the addition of a new nun, spurs paranoia throughout the convent that spies sent from Rome have arrived to shut them down.
