Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest" at Riverwalk Theatre | March 13-16 & 20-23, 2025. Directed by Bob Purosky. All performances have a run time of about 2.5 hours plus one 15 minute intermission. *We share our parking lot with I5 Science Center. Please plan accordingly and arrive early on Sundays since I5 is open. Additional parking available on Michigan Ave. and the Lansing Center parking garage. ------------------------ Oscar Wilde's celebrated 1895 comedy of manners is a delightfully witty and effervescent satire that skewers the pretensions of Victorian high society. Through its tale of mistaken identities, convoluted courtships, and the importance of always being "earnest," this enduring theatrical classic offers audiences a sparkling showcase of Wilde's unparalleled talent for incisive social commentary and uproarious humor. ------------------------ Tickets on sale Now! https://cur8.com/19228/project/124542 Note: Offers to sell tickets in the Facebook event or on posts are not legitimate.
