Presented with views from all sides, in the Lakewood Playhouse’s unique “in the round” seating, this production of “THE IMPORTANCE of BEING EARNEST” will help you feel like as if you are “inside” the show!

ABOUT THE SHOW: In THE IMPORTANCE of BEING EARNEST, dashing men-about-town John Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff pursue fair ladies Gwendolen Fairfax and Cecily Cardew. Matters are complicated by the imaginary characters invented by both men to cover their on-the-sly activities—not to mention the disapproval of Gwendolen’s mother, the formidable Lady Bracknell.

Parental Advisory: This production is suitable for the entire family.
