Oscar Wilde’s classic comedy, The Importance of Being Earnest, is the next big production for Saint Ignatius Harlequins. This hilarious farce is full of outrageous characters, witty dialogue (delivered in British accents, of course,) and non-stop entertainment. This year’s fall play presents a comical perspective on the seemingly-dignified members of Victorian high society. Written in 1895, the humor of this piece still resonates today, drawing many parallels with the modern upper class.
The show will also include original music composed by Ignatius Junior Jimmy Thompson which will be performed and recorded by Jimmy and members of the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra.
The cast and crew of Ignatius theater will fully utilize the Breen Center, which has already held two great Ignatius plays. Seeing the show will also give you an opportunity to see The Importance of Being Earnest before it hits Broadway in December. In addition, those looking to get a leg up in Junior English can by seeing the play before it is read in class later in the year.
The Importance of Being Earnest will be performed on October, 23, 24, and 25 at 7:30 P.M.”
