Urgent Casting Notice for 3 roles in DRINKING HABITS 2 at Don Bluth Front Row Theatre

Directed by Van Rockwell

DRINKING HABITS 2: Caught in the Act is a comedy/farce in two acts and a sequel to DRINKING HABITS (published by Playscripts, Inc.). 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.   

Sunday, November 20th from 2pm to 3pm

Auditions will consist of cold reads from the script. PDFs of audition sides are available for download below.

Looking for performers with comedic timing, big facial expressions, humility, and looking to have fun. Any thoughts of this being a drama are hugely mistaken.

Bring a current headshot and resume.

Bring a list of all conflicts for rehearsal- there will be no understudies, if you are not available for all performances we cannot consider you for casting in this production. See performance schedule below.
