The Importance of Being Earnest: 2:00pm

The Importance of Being Earnest By Oscar Wilde Directed by Rodney Lizcano

Take a mother eager to marry her daughter to a “suitable” match, a prim governess with a very romantic streak, and two earnest young “gentlemen” looking for fun. Add some of the best-loved lines in English literature, a little confusion, and a great deal of laughter and you have this comic classic many critics have called “the funniest play ever written.”

A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder: 8:00pm

Book and Lyrics by Robert L. Freedman
Music and Lyrics by Steven Lutvak
Based on the novel Israel Rank by Roy Horniman
Directed by Amanda Berg Wilson

In this hilarious Tony Award-winning musical, when Monty Navarro, a man of humble origins, discovers he is eighth in line to inherit an earldom in the distinguished D’Ysquith family, he realizes his chances of outliving these pesky relatives (all played by one actor!) are slim. So, he hatches a far darker plan of disposing of his unsuspecting relations without being caught in order to claim the title of Ninth Earl of Highhurst. All the while, he is also juggling romance in this uproarious musical comedy.

Haunted by the witches’ prophecies and spurred on by his wife’s ambitions and his own taste for power, Macbeth dares to tempt fate.
