Looking for a good laugh?
“Drinking Habits,” the new production of Keizer Homegrown Theatre, has just what you need. The show opens Friday, April 11, at the Keizer Cultural Center stage, and tickets are on sale now.
The play, a rollicking farce written by Tom Smith, follows the Sisters of Perpetual Sewing who are secretly making wine to keep their convent afloat.
The show is full of zany twists as the surreptitious wine making draws the attention of two reporters who go undercover as a priest and nun, eager to expose the convent’s secret.
Mistaken identities abound, and director Jeff Minden promises that laughs are guaranteed.
Audiences can expect a fast-paced production and a lot of physical comedy, with the eight characters popping on and off set through five doors and in different combinations. The show features new and veteran Homegrown actors in what Minden describes as “the most ensemble show I’ve ever done.”
Show dates are April 11-13, April 18-20, and April 25-27. Curtain time is 7 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, with 2 p.m. matinees on Sundays.
General admission is $15. To reserve tickets, visit keizerhomegrowntheatre.org.
Cast members are: Douglas Wentz, Jennifer Johnson, Cathy Willoughby, Valerie Mozena, Laura Davis, Tavis Evans, Robert Condron, Nathalie Reid-Holbrook. Lauren Stenerson is the stage manager.
