The Drama Group to Present THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST, 3/16-31
The Drama Group's spring show will be "The Importance of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde. Performances are Friday and Saturday evenings, March 16 to 31, at 8:00, in Pilling Hall at The First United Methodist Church of Germantown, 6001 Germantown Avenue, between High Street and Walnut Lane.
In this classic comedy of manners, two friends, Jack and Algernon, proceed to bend the truth – and bend it more than just a bit – in order to impress Gwendolyn and Cecily, the objects of their affections. You see, both of the young women dream of loving a man named Ernest. So, of course, each of the young men pretends that his name is Ernest, causing a series of mistaken identities – both intentional and unintentional – to ensue.
Wilde's timeless masterpiece has been hailed as "the wittiest play ever written in the English language. But don't take The Drama Group's word for it. You really should see the show and decide for yourself."
The cast of "The Importance of Being Earnest" includes Colleen Bracken, Andrew Deitch, Kevin Fennell, Jesse Lehman, Lauren Myers, Stacy Skinner, Crystal Why and Dante Zappala. "The Importance of Being Earnest" is being directed by Angela Anderson.
Tickets for "The Importance of Being Earnest" are $15.00 and can be purchased at the door. On opening night, Friday, March 16, every ticket purchased will admit two people. A post-show discussion will be held following the performance on Friday, March 23. For more information about "The Importance of Being Earnest" and The Drama Group, visit www.thedramagroup.org.
