The Importance of Being Earnest

Ava Lewis 

In this one-act adaptation of Oscar Wilde's beloved romantic comedy, the stakes are even higher and the deadlines even tighter for poor Jack Worthing, whose alter ego "Ernest" comes back to haunt him in the form of his rakish friend Algernon Montcrieff, who adopts the false identity to woo Jack's ward Cecily. But Jack-as-Ernest has just proposed to Algernon's cousin Gwendolen, to the great disapproval of her mother, the rigid Lady Bracknell. When the two ladies -- both engaged to Ernest Worthing -- meet up, chaos ensues. All the wit of Wilde in less than half the time.​

Atheris Kincaid

The mission is simple: infiltrate a lavish party, steal a dangerous device, and stop the villian. The problem? The spies are idiots. What unfolds is a fast paced parade of terrible distractions, enthusiastic mustache-twirling, dance offs, fake laptops, and a villian who loves monologuing more than actually villainy. Will the world be saved? Maybe pray!
