the importance of being earnest
march 13 - 22

**What’s in a name? Everything.**

The road to true love is delightfully tangled in Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest. Jack wants to marry the elegant Gwendolyn, but must first win over her formidable mother, Lady Bracknell. Meanwhile, Jack’s charmingly deceitful friend Algernon has his eye on Cecily, Jack’s ward—and a few secrets of his own. Between mistaken identities, alter egos, and sharp wit, Wilde’s timeless comedy skewers romance, society, and the absurdities of Victorian life in a brilliantly farcical romp.
