>> “THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST”
>> By Oscar Wilde
>> 
>> Show Description:
>> 
>> The Importance of Being Ernest is an entertaining romp featuring two bachelor friends and the double lives they lead.  
>> 
>> Add in an irascible snob of an aunt and two delightful young ladies along with some of the most brilliant dialogue and witticisms ever written for a fun filled evening of laughter.
>> 
>> Roles:
>> John “Jack” Worthing, aka Ernest, is a wealthy young gentleman who takes life seriously.  He’s a friend of Algernon whose behavior he sometimes deplores.  John is Cecily’s guardian and is in love with Gwendolen Fairfax.
>>  
>> Algernon Moncrieff is the brilliantly witty and blithely selfish nephew of Lady Bracknell and cousin to Gwendolen Fairfax.  He’s John’s best friend.  He’s in love with Cecily Cardew.
>>  
>> Gwendolen Fairfax is  Algernon’s young, aristocratic and charmingly superficial cousin and Lady Bracknell’s daughter.  She’s in love with John.
>>  
>> Lady Bracknell is domineering, cunning, mercenary and snobbish.  She’s Gwendolen’s mother, and she means to see her daughter well-married.  A formidable woman, Lady Bracknell is used to having her own way in all things.
>>  
>> Cecily Cardew is a young woman given to romantic fantasies and intrigued by the wickedness of John’s brother.  She is the simpler, more innocent country girl to Gwendolyn’s sophisticated city girl.
>>   
>> Rev. Canon Chasuble, D.D. (Doctor of Divinity), is the pleasant rector on John’s estate and has a crush on Miss Prism. 
>>  
>> Miss Prism is Cecily’s pedantic governess.  She’s somewhat puritanical, but her softer side leans toward Dr. Chasuble.  She once wrote an important novel. 
>>  
>> Merriman is the butler at Jack’s country estate.
>>  
>> Lane is Algernon’s manservant.
>>  
>> All roles are open and available.
