Oregon State University Theatre's Winter 2025 production of "The Importance of Being Earnest" (the wittiest English-language play of all time) runs March 6-8 and 14*-15 at 7:30 p.m. and March 16 at 2 p.m.
 

John Worthing is leading a double life. In his posh London flat, he’s known as the dashing and playful Earnest, but in his country estate he’s simply the responsible and respectable Jack. When his charming and trouble-making best friend Algernon discovers John’s schemes, he takes on his own alternate identity and poses as Jack’s brother leading to a complex series of misunderstandings and farcical situations. Oscar Wilde’s enduring 1985 comedy playfully skewers the mannered conventions of social class, marriage, gender, and religion with charm and wit.
 

Don't miss this classic comedy that promises to be a Wilde ride for all featuring Owen Dufrene (Algernon Moncrieff), Vreneli Farber (Lady Bracknell), Lilli George (Hon. Gwendolyn Fairfax), Kate Hall (Cecily Cardew), Sophia Massey (Miss Prism), Asher Moore (Merriman/Lane), Jakob Peterson (Rev. Canon Chasuble D.D.), and Hank Smith (John Worthing).
