Freeport Players will present a hilarious farce, “Drinking Habits” by Tom Smith, for two weekends at the Freeport Performing Arts Center, 30 Holbrook St., on two weekends.

Audiences can expect lots of laughs, many doors opening and shutting, and many secrets held and revealed. Performances are Aug. 8-10 and 15-17 at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 3 p.m. Sundays. Tickets are available in advance at fcponline.org ($20) or at the door ($24). FPAC is air conditioned and handicapped accessible.

Accusations, mistaken identities and romances run wild in this sidesplitting, 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 formerly engaged, 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 director is Linda Duarte. Play cast are: Shirley Bernier, Karyn Diamond, Hali Fortin, Nate Levesque, Jillian Lovejoy, PJ O’Hanlon and David Wallace. Actors are from Brunswick, Lisbon, Steep Falls, Yarmouth and Bowdoinham. For more information, contact producers Judy Lloyd at jelloyd68@yahoo.com and Mike Powers at mkp1151@gmail.com.
