Directed by A.J. Allegra, this production brings Wilde’s sharp wit and humor to life, promising a delightful experience filled with clever dialogue and absurd situations. The story revolves around the fictitious character Ernest, whose existence causes chaos and confusion among the other characters. The talented cast includes Yvette Bourgeois as Cecily Cardew, Tracey E. Collins as Lady Bracknell, and Noah Hazzard as John Jack Worthing, among others. The creative team, featuring Joan Long as Scenic Designer and Kaci Thomassie as Costume Designer, has crafted a visually stunning and immersive setting that transports the audience to another era. The production has received praise for its vibrant performances and meticulous attention to detail, with reviews highlighting the lush period costumes and elaborate set design. This rendition of Wilde’s classic play is a finely tailored farce that balances sophistication with comic absurdity, making it a must-see for fans of timeless theater.
