Event description: Join us for an evening of delightful theater and fine dining! What’s in a name? For the characters in Oscar Wilde’s wise and witty comedy of manners, The Importance of Being Earnest, the answer would undoubtedly be “EVERYTHING!” Appearances reign supreme among the British uppercrust in this turn-of-the-20th-century masterpiece that Wilde himself termed “a trivial comedy for serious people.” Indeed, laugh-out-loud humor plays with sharp social commentary hand in glove—but, please, whatever else may happen, make sure it’s a spotless, white glove!
