Drinking Habits

Nov. 1, 2025

The AuSable Artisan Village Community Theatre is leaning into a play on words with their upcoming production of Drinking Habits, a play written by modern American playwright Tom Smith and directed locally by Penny Podjaske. The show follows two nuns at a convent called the Sisters of Perpetual Sewing. Except instead of embroidering, these nuns have been making wine. Their intentions are good—to earn money to keep the convent open—but when some undercover reporters try to suss out the secret business, all hell breaks loose. The Artisan Village touts the play as a “zany tale of love, faith, and farcical misunderstandings.” Check out performances Nov. 7 and 8 at 7pm and Nov. 9 at 4:30pm at the Performing Arts Center at 122 Michigan Avenue in Grayling. Tickets are $20 at artisanvillage.org.
