WE’RE BACK!! It’s time for auditions for our fall show: THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST!
A trivial comedy for serious people, by Oscar Wilde
Directed by Steve Phelan
This theater classic features some of the wittiest dialogue ever written (and a chance to brush up your British accent!). Two young gentlemen bend the truth in order to put some excitement into their lives. John has invented a brother, Earnest, whom he uses as an excuse to leave his dull country life behind to visit the girl he adores in London. Algernon takes the name Earnest to secretly visit John’s beautiful young ward in the country. Things go awry when they all end up together one fateful afternoon.
