Henthorne Performing Arts Center will present 'Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde' Moises Kaufman, author of The Laramie Project. Kaufman brings to life poet and author Oscar Wilde and the public trials that ruined him. Wilde, on trial for 'gross indecency,' was at the height of his fame as the author of The Importance of Being Earnest and 'The Picture of Dorian Gray.'
