🎩 The Importance of Being Earnest
By Oscar Wilde
Directed by Sherry Thompson
Oscar Wilde’s razor-sharp wit comes to our stage with The Importance of Being Earnest, a comedy of double lives, mistaken identities, and social satire. Follow two young men—both posing as “Ernest”—as they navigate romance and the expectations of Victorian society. With unforgettable characters like Lady Bracknell and Miss Prism, this classic promises clever banter, laughter, and a delightfully absurd good time
