May 23 – June 8

Music by Bret Simmons
Book & Lyrics by David Howard
Adapted from The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde

With its mistaken identities, sudden engagements and outrageous coincidences, Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnesthas delighted audiences for over a century and is undoubtedly one of the funniest plays ever written. And how best to bring this timeless comedy into its next century than by adding the one thing it lacks-music! This delightful new musical illuminates Wilde’s play through songs filled with his biting, cynical wit; brilliant social commentary; and soaring heart-felt romance.
