By Marc Camolotti

SYNOPSIS: While his wife Jacqueline is away tending to her ailing mother, Bernard plans a tryst with his Parisian mistress. He’s arranged everything for the perfect romantic weekend, even hiring a gourmet chef to prepare their meals. To cover the liaison, he invites his best friend Robert to stay the weekend and provide a convenient alibi. Unbeknownst to Bernard, Robert is having an affair with Jacqueline – who, upon learning that her lover will be there, decides not to leave town after all. When the cook and the mistress arrive, they are quickly mistaken for each other and must play their new roles at this suddenly-crowded dinner party. You won’t stop laughing as Bernard and Robert scramble to keep their stories straight while the lies pile up, mistaken identities multiply, and the evening hurtles delightfully out of control.

SYNOPSIS: Oscar Wilde’s comedic masterpiece marks the mainstage season finale at Aurora Players. Ernest Worthing lives a comfortable life in London courting the lovely Gwendolen and having dinner with his friend Algernon… though he’s not actually named Ernest. His real name is Jack, and his alias allows him to live a lavish bachelor life when he travels away from his country house under the guise of visiting his nonexistent brother, Ernest. Algernon is quickly inspired to bring Ernest to life in the country to rather hilarious results, leading both men and their acquaintances on a charming and unexpected journey to a happy ending.
