You are cordially invited to The Importance of Being Earnest— a trivial comedy for serious people. This classic play, directed by Cate McDonald, is a sparkling farce of mistaken identities, romantic entanglements, and cucumber sandwiches.
As Jack and Algernon both pose as “Ernest” to pursue love, chaos ensues in this witty, satirical romp through Victorian society. Wilde’s classic delivers sharp humor, unexpected twists, and a charming reminder of the importance of, well… being earnest.
Friday, October 3rd at 6:00 pm
Saturday, October 4th at 2:00 pm & 6:00 pm
Approx. 90-minute runtime - free outdoor performance as part of the 2025 Scranton Fringe Festival.
Doherty Pocket Park (238 Wyoming Ave, Downtown Scranton, PA, at the corner of Wyoming & Linden).
This special outdoor production is made possible by Scranton Fringe at no charge to our audiences, thanks to support from The City of Scranton, Scranton Tomorrow, and other key supporters.
