The Importance of Being Earnest

PRODUCED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH UWT

Being sensible can be excessively boring. At least Jack thinks so. While assuming the role of dutiful guardian in the country, he lets loose in town under a false identity. Meanwhile, his friend Algernon takes on a similar facade. Unfortunately, living a double life has its drawbacks, especially when it comes to love. Hoping to impress two eligible ladies, the gentlemen find themselves caught in a web of lies they must carefully navigate. As mistaken identities multiply and the truth becomes harder to hide, the consequences grow increasingly absurd. Produced in partnership with the University of Washington Tacoma, Oscar Wilde’s beloved comedy sparkles with wit, romance, and social satire at every turn.
