SUMMARY:AUDITIONS: The Importance of Being Earnest
DESCRIPTION:March 30th & 31st @ 5:30pm\nStep into the spotlight and be part of our vibrant arts community in The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde. A trivial comedy for serious people.\nNo experience necessary! You will be asked to read with other participants from sections of the script previously selected by the directors. All auditions will be performed as a “cold read” (seeing the script for the first time). Auditions are also a great time to express your interest in backstage work\, set building\, lights and all of the other necessary skills that make a show great! Stop by if you have any interest in the action “behind the scenes” and visit with the directors. \nThe Importance of Being Earnest – Directed by Melita Quinonez \nThe Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde is a sparkling comedy of manners that follows two young gentlemen\, Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff\, who invent alter egos to escape social obligations and pursue romance. Jack leads a respectable life in the country but pretends to be a wayward brother named “Ernest” when he visits London. Algernon\, equally mischievous\, adopts the name Ernest himself to charm Jack’s ward\, Cecily.\nAs their double lives collide\, misunderstandings multiply\, engagements are tested\, and the formidable Lady Bracknell lays down the law. Through sharp wit and absurd twists\, Wilde satirizes Victorian society\, marriage\, and the pursuit of respectability. Proving that sometimes the truth is far less important than being “Ernest.”\nPerformance Dates\nMay 14\, 15\, 16\, 17\nThursday – Saturday • 7:00 pm\nSunday • 2:00 pm\nAvailable Roles\nJack Worthing (Ernest): Age 25–35\, A respectable gentleman who leads a double life: a responsible guardian in the country and “Ernest” in the city.\nAlgernon Moncrieff (Algy: Age 25–35\, Jack’s friend and a witty bachelor who delights in flouting social conventions.\nRev.
