Drinking Habits
A jug of wine, a loaf of bread, and hilarity ensues…
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.

The sinking of the RMS Titanic, in 1912, was a catastrophic event which has since passed into myth and legend. On April 27th, 2024, the CMO will be marking the 112th anniversary of the loss of the largest ship of its time. The Titanic’s failure to live up to its unsinkable expectations marked the end of the Edwardian period and the passing of the age of innocence. The CMO has chosen a special program of music to commemorate the loss of the great ship, and the 1500 souls who did not survive its sinking.
