The Driftwood Players Present: Drinking Habits

Mill Creek YMCA has 30 seats reserved for the performance of “Drinking Habits” at the Wade James Theater in Edmonds.

This laugh-out loud play performed by Edmonds own, Driftwood Players, includes accusations, mistaken identities, and romances run wild. It is the story of two nuns at the Sisters of Perpetual Sewing who have been secretly making wine to keep the convent’s doors open. However, two reporters are hot on their trail and go undercover as a nun and priest. Wine and secrets are inevitably spilled as everyone tries to preserve the convent and reconnect with lost loves.

When?
