The Importance of Being Earnest

The Importance of Being Earnest The Curtain Call Theatre invites you to yet another entertaining theatrical production filled with puns and laughter that will ‘earnestly’ make you glad that you attended. “The Importance of Being Earnest” by Oscar Wilde is Wilde-ly funny and irreverent! This is perhaps Wilde’s most famous play and is gently subtitled ‘A Trivial Comedy for Serious People.’ In this farcical comedy the protagonists maintain fictitious personae in order to escape burdensome social obligations. “Earnest” is set in late Victorian London and utilizes witty dialogue and an ingenious case of manufactured mistaken identity to create humorous social satire. Directed by Michael Tabib, the managing director of The Curtain Call Theatre at The Russian River Hall and Center for Performing Arts, 20374 Highway 116, Monte Rio. The play features a seasoned cast of talented actors well equipped to provide an evening of fun, frolic, and joyous laughter for all who attend. “The Importance of Being Earnest” will open March 15th and run each weekend thru April 12th. Friday and Saturday performances start at 8pm., Sunday matinees at 3pm. $20 Regular admission; $15 for Students with current ID and Seniors 60+; and to make theater more accessible to all, the first three Friday performances are “Pay-What-You-Can” events.
