American Heartland Theatre Presents THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST, 3/2-4/15
American Heartland Theatre brings Oscar Wilde's farce The Importance of Being Earnest to Kansas City. A recent hit on Broadway, The Importance of Being Earnest is a comedy of mistaken identities which ridicules codes of propriety and etiquette. Dashing men-about-town John Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff pursue fair ladies Gwendolen Fairfax and Cecily Cardew. Matters are complicated by the imaginary characters invented by both men to cover their on-the-sly activities - not to mention the disapproval of Gwendolen's mother, the formidable Lady Bracknell, played by Jim Korinke.
The Importance of Being Earnest is a play in three acts and will feature a 15 minute intermission after act one and a 10 minute intermission after act two and is rated G.
Performances begin March 2nd, 2012 and continue through April 15th, 2012. Press night is Wednesday, March 7th at 7:30pm. Tickets are now on sale at the American Heartland Theatre Box Office on the 3rd floor of the Crown Center Shops, or can be purchased online at www.ahtkc.com or by calling 816-842-9999.
