The Importance of Being Earnest

The Importance of Being Earnest is a delightful comedy by Oscar Wilde that explores the complications of identity, love, and the pursuit of marriage.

Responsible, mild-mannered Jack Worthing is hiding two big secrets: first, he is in love with Gwendolen, Algernon’s cousin, and second, they both think his name is Ernest. Jack has invented an imaginary brother named Ernest to escape his responsibilities and lead a carefree life in London. However, when Algernon discovers Jack’s scheme, he decides to adopt the identity of Ernest to win the heart of Jack’s charming ward, Cecily.

As the two women fall for their respective Ernests, confusion ensues, and both must navigate a maze of misunderstandings and mistaken identities to find their way to true love. This comedy of errors is filled with sharp wit and clever dialogue.

Don’t miss this timeless classic!

• Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays at 7:30 PM

• Sundays at 3:00 PM
