Opening December 3rd:
The Importance of Being Earnest

The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde
Directed by Felix Crim
December 3–13, 2026

In Oscar Wilde's classic send up of the Victorian upper class, two men assume the name “Ernest” to win over the hearts of their lady loves. These deceptions soon start unraveling to hilarious effect.

With mistaken identities, razor-sharp social satire, and Wilde's signature one-liners, The Importance of Being Earnest is a delightful farce that skewers Victorian convention and proves that nothing is more important than being earnest. Also, tea is served.
