About

Join us for a young performers’ version of Oscar Wilde’s comedy masterpiece! The story revolves around one of the most ingenious, and hilarious, cases of mistaken identity ever put into a play: Cecily Cardew and Gwendolen Fairfax are both in love with the same mythical suitor.  The reliable Jack Worthing has wooed Gwendolen under the name Ernest while the adorable dandy Algernon Moncrieff has also posed as Ernest to win the heart of Cecily.  When all four arrive at Jack’s country home on the same weekend accompanied by the formidable Lady Bracknell, the gallants must grapple with the riotous consequences of their deceptions.

This show is presented as a Production Class for young actors and is part of our Academy of Creative Theatre educational program. All actors in this production are students under the age of 18.
