From now through Saturday, May 25, Murry’s Dinner Playhouse, 6323 Col Glenn Rd, in Little Rock, is presenting the Oscar Wilde classic THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST. First performed in 1895, Director Roger Eaves captures the play’s purpose of satirizing the social norms and conventions of Victorian society, while embracing his cast’s cuteness factor. You will leave with a full belly and conversation for the way home. Seats are still available, so grab your tickets at murrysdp.com.
