THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNESTby Oscar Wilde
directed by Melissa Rain Anderson
October 28 – November 15, 2025
Oscar Wilde’s most famous comedy comes to the Playhouse for the first time!
Mistaken identities, secret engagements, a lost handbag, and one very formidable aunt set the stage for this classic, fast-paced, delightfully ridiculous romp through Victorian society. Two wildly eligible bachelors bend the truth in their pursuit of love, only to land in a web of hilarious complications (and far too many cucumber sandwiches). Full of razor-sharp wit and larger-than-life characters, this sparkling satire gleefully skewers love, marriage, and high society. Wilde’s gift for language and outrageous humor is on full display in this joyously theatrical masterpiece. Join us this fall – and get Wilde at the Playhouse!
