WHO DUN DID IT AT A SOCK HOP
PLOTT Performers
Feb. 27-28
Schoolhouse Restaurant [Camp Dennison]
The Red Roses believe they are the hippest girl group in Woodstock, New York! They attend the proper, private school of Woodstock Day School where they are anything but proper. Their chorus teacher and promoter believes they are the next sensation (next to sliced bread) and books them an appearance at the Catskill High School Sock Hop of 1958 where they will be introduced to the music world. Will they knock ’em dead?…Probably. Rated PG.

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST
Wilmington College
Feb. 26-28
Boyd Cultural Arts Center Heiland Theatre [Wilmington]
Directed by Bryan Wallingford
Cast: Devon Snyder as Jack Worthing, Nathyn Fulton as Algernon Moncrieff, Emma Schnecker as Gwendolyn Fairfax, Carlie McCoy as Cecily Cardew, Ollie Basta as Lady Bracknell. Makayla Thomason as Miss Prism, Teddy Murphy as Dr. Chasuble, Fiona Powell as Lane, Otto Cipollini as Merriman & Ken Lydy as Gribsby
The classic play is a satirical comedy that mocks Victorian social conventions, although some ring as true today as they did in the 19th century. The story focuses on two men, Jack and Algernon, who both create false identities to escape from their societal obligations. Two women, Gwendolyn and Cecily, have fallen for these imaginary personas, both of whom go by the name of “Ernest.” The men tell a series of lies to try to keep up their illusions, and hilarious misunderstandings ensue. Witticisms, wordplay and aphorisms are the comedic highlights of Wilde’s masterpiece.
