Oscar Wilde at his very best!  If you haven’t seen his favorite “trivial comedy for serious people,” you won’t want to miss this opportunity to join Shakespeare ‘70 for some high society fun. Presiding over the verbal merriment is Lady Bracknell, possibly the most comically domineering aunt in stage history. Ally and Jack try to be Earnest, while wooing Gwendolyn and Cecile, taking the play through some unlikely plot twists. By the way, if you have seen the show before, you will love the chance to renew acquaintance with those lively characters and the witty dialogue. PG

The musical includes seven of the best-loved songs from the film, plus ten additional Martin and Blane songs written especially for the stage. Memorable musical numbers include "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," "The Boy Next Door," "The Trolley Song," and "Whenever I’m with You. G
