The Importance of Being Earnest, Live Theater with Around The Curtain Community Theater

Step into a world of wit, romance, and delicious deception in The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde, presented by the high school students of Around the Curtain Children’s Theater.

In this sparkling comedy of manners, two young gentlemen—Jack and Algernon—lead double lives to escape social obligations, only to find themselves tangled in a web of mistaken identities, secret engagements, and hilariously rigid expectations. As their carefully constructed lies begin to unravel, love, truth, and a very important name hang in the balance.

Filled with sharp humor, absurd situations, and unforgettable characters, this student-led production brings Wilde’s iconic satire to life with fresh energy and theatrical flair. This well-loved show embraces over-the-top elegance and biting commentary, proving that even over a century later, the pursuit of love—and the lengths we go to avoid responsibility—remain as entertaining as ever.

✨ Join us for an evening of laughter, charm, and just the right amount of scandal.
