Join the Woodman Museum and director William Saxe for a fresh take on Oscar Wilde’s classic romantic comedy, “The Importance of Being Earnest”. Two Victorian Era bachelor’s, Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff, create the alter ego “Ernest” in order to escape their day-to-day responsibilities and attract women. Hilarity and confusion occur when their fiancées discover that they are engaged to the “same” man, Ernest.
