It's good to be reminded that there was a time when manners mattered, albeit at the expense of social end economic hierarchy.

City Center Theatre's rendition of The Importance of Being Earnest successfully brings Victorian England to life through its set design, costumes, and charming performances. The play's clever humor and satire shine through the comedic portrayal of societal norms and the exploration of dual identities.
