Emerald Theatre Presents
Summer Outdoor Theatre
The Importance of Being Earnest
Emerald Theatre is delighted to announce its upcoming production of Oscar Wilde's beloved comedy, The Importance of Being Earnest. This sparkling satire of society will be performed in in local gardens and parks with our partner organizations. More information on specific dates and times coming soon!
The Importance of Being Earnest follows the hilarious escapades of two charming bachelors: Jack Worthing who invents a fictional alter ego named "Ernest" to escape social obligations and and Algernon Moncrieff, who also uses the name "Ernest," as they both woo their respective love interests, Gwendolen and Cecily. Their deceptions lead to a whirlwind of mistaken identities, romantic entanglements, and laugh-out-loud chaos, all while Wilde skewers the superficiality and hypocrisy of the upper class with his signature wit and razor-sharp social commentary.
You can support our theatre in many ways!
