You are cordially invited to The Importance of Being Earnest— a trivial comedy for serious people. This classic play is a sparkling farce of mistaken identities, romantic entanglements, and cucumber sandwiches. As Jack and Algernon both pose as “Ernest” to pursue love, chaos ensues in this witty, satirical romp through Victorian society. Wilde’s classic delivers sharp humor, unexpected twists, and a charming reminder of the importance of, well... being earnest.

This special outdoor production is produced by Scranton Fringe at no charge to our audiences, thanks to support from The City of Scranton, Scranton Tomorrow, and other key supporters.
