FREE COMEDY IN THE PARK:
​The Importance of Being Earnest

Acme is proud to present our spring mainstage play:

The Importance of Being Earnest

By Oscar Wilde

Directed by

Wren Arellano-Calderon

Synopsis:

Everyone is in love with Ernest, the irresistible bad boy of London society. The trouble is, Ernest doesn’t exist. Oscar Wilde fills this uproarious farce with delicious bon mots, as two pairs of young lovers scramble to untangle their own web of lies and win the approval of the imperious Lady Bracknell. Earnest is a wildly entertaining “trivial comedy for serious people,” that sparkles with dazzling wordplay and hilariously unlikely situations.

 

Oscar Wilde’s most popular play has entertained theatre-goers for over a century. Audiences can expect a dazzling blend of witty repartee and biting commentary on love, identity, and the absurdity of societal expectations. Whether you’re a longtime fan of classic theatre or new to Wilde’s world, this is a production not to be missed!
