The Importance of Being Earnest

BY OSCAR WILDE

April 30 – May 8

Purchase your tickets online here

 The Importance of Being Earnest is a comic play by Oscar Wilde. Set in England during the late Victorian era, the play's humour derives in part from characters maintaining fictitious identities to escape unwelcome social obligations. The play opens in the fashionable London residence of Algernon Moncrieff. His friend Jack (who goes by the name “Earnest”) Worthing arrives, revealing his intention to propose matrimony to Algernon’s cousin Gwendolen Fairfax. Jack admits that he is the ward to a young woman, Cecily Cardew. Also, he admits to leading a double life, stating that his “name is Earnest in town and Jack in the country.” In the country, he pretends to have a brother in London named Earnest whose wicked ways necessitate frequent trips to the city to rescue him. Lady Augusta Bracknell arrives with his cousin Gwendolen Fairfax. Jack — claiming his name is Earnest — confesses his love for  Gwendolen and proposes marriage. Lady Bracknell forbids the marriage and chaos ensues as both pairs plot on their own and with servants, maids, manservants and anyone else that they can pull into their web of insanity. In the end Jack, turns out to be Lady Bracknell’s lost nephew and Algernon’s older brother … what do they do next? You will have to come and see.

Half price shows on Thursday May 6. at 7:00  / Friday and Saturday shows at 7:00 / Saturday and Sunday shows at 3:00.

 “Oscar Wilde’s work is as relevant and appealing to the public now as it was when it was first written, maybe more so since he subject of who should and should not get married is at the fore-front of the modern political landscape..”- Jamey Jamison President Art Centre Theatre

“The detail in this show is amazing, from the acting to the costumes to the set, it is all so pretty and fun to watch it is candy for the eyes and mind –Angela Montgomery Vice President Art Centre Theatre

“I play Lady Bracknell, Wilde wrote the part originally to be played by a man in drag, I am not sure what that means to me as an actress, needless to say I have developed a little bit of a complex. It doesn’t help that she was played by Dame Judy Dench in the movie. Geez, I hope I do this right.” -  Lorainne McCrossan, Lady Bracknell

Leapin' Lizards! The popular comic strip heroine takes center stage in one of the world's best-loved musicals. "Annie" is a spunky Depression-era orphan determined to find her parents, who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of a New York City Orphanage run by the cruel, embittered Miss Hannigan. In adventure after fun-filled adventure, Annie foils Miss Hannigan's evil machinations, befriends President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and finds a new family and home in billionaire Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary Grace Farrell and a lovable mutt named Sandy.

“This show is a classic it embodies the elements of everything that makes our culture great. The underdog comes out on top, good over evil, the greedy, lying subversive element gets their come-up-ance in the end. It is a gleefull guilty pleasure. We have a diverse cast of ethnic, social and chronologically diverse cast members … it has brought unique opportunities to our theatre.”- Jamey Jamison President Art Centre Theatre

“We are always trying to find those shows that will let our audience get the highest quality performances but still allow families to act together. Annie lets mom’s, dads, kids and even the family dog get in on the act …  together … it is a very unifying activity!” –Angela Montgomery Vice President Art Centre Theatre

“I have done this show several times before, but each time I do,  there are new challenges and rewards, no one ever gets tired of Annie. I have a great cast and wonderful help. This is going to be a great show!”- Kathy French Resident Director Art Centre Theatre

“I am actually playing four different characters, completely different people, it has been fantastic, it is a wonderful opportunity to be on stage, as a doctor, this is a completely different thing for me. What a great place to come and play.” -  Robert Honigsfeld – Cast Member
