The Importance of Being Earnest
by Oscar Wilde
Performance Dates: May 16-18, 23-25
Performance Times: 7:30 pm
Performance Location: Tremper Studio Theater (Room 120)
Synopsis: Responsible, mild-mannered Jack Worthing is harboring a couple of secrets. First, he is in love with his friend Algernon's cousin, Gwendolen. And second, they both think his name is Ernest. In fact, Earnest is Jack's imaginary alter ego - a troubled younger brother he created so that he could do whatever he liked in London and no one would ever think to judge him. But when Algernon catches on to the scheme, he decides to be Ernest himself in order to woo Jack's lovely young ward, Cecily. Confusion and hilarity reign, as the ladies try to disentangle the stories of their respective Ernests and jump the seemingly impossible hurdles to marry the Ernest they respectively love.
