Set in the late 1800’s in England, young countryman Jack Worthing has decided to propose to the love of his life Gwendoline. The only problem is that she knows him by a false name: Ernest. Before he has a chance to come clean on the name Gwendoline reveals that she only ever truly love someone with the name Ernest. Jack then decides that the only way to win his true love is to head back to his estate and receive a new christening under the name Ernest.

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.
