Oklahoma City Repertory Theatre continues their Eleventh Season with Oscar Wilde's sparkling comedy, THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST, Wilde's most produced play. THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST is a farcical comedy in which the main characters maintain fictitious personae in order to escape burdensome social obligations. Its high farce and witty dialogue have helped make THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST Wilde's most enduringly popular play. CityRep is co-producing with TheatreOCU and Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park to provide Oklahoma City with an elegant and sumptuous production of this classic comedy. This production is rated PG.
This February, Scarborough Music Theatre presents Sweeney Todd- Stephen Sondheim's popular tale of revenge and meat pies. Benjamin Barker returns to London to find that his daughter is now the ward of Judge Turpin, the very man responsible for his exile. He sets out on a murderous quest for revenge and if his need to dispose of the bodies can help business at Mrs. Lovett's meat pie shop then his revenge becomes a dish best served hot - and with a flaky crust.

Under Adams' laser-sharp direction-that is filled with a lot of heart and her unerring attention to detail-The Keeton Theatre's cast offers up a production of the show that's as good as it gets.
