Don’t miss “The Importance of Being Earnest” on Friday & Saturday March 18th & 19th at 7:30 pm and Sunday, March 20th at 3:00 pm at the BMHS Fine Arts Theater.

The Importance of Being Earnest is the most famous Comedy of Manners, driven by mistaken identity and witty dialogue. Two British bachelors each assume the name “Ernest” in order to meet the demands of the ladies they love, insisting that they will only marry a man with the confidence-inspiring name of “Ernest.” Chaos erupts as the truth is revealed and all learn the value of being truly earnest. Playwright Oscar Wilde aptly subtitled his play, “A Trivial Comedy for Serious people.”

All Tickets are $10.00 and are available here.
