It’s next Friday, Saturday and Sunday…

Island teens take on witty dialogue, vintage costumes and farcical fun as they present Oscar Wilde’s classic play first performed in London in 1895.

The play takes a satirical look at Victorian ways, the nature of marriage, the constraints of morality, hypocrisy vs. inventiveness, and essentially, the importance of not being “earnest.”

“The writing is brilliant,” said director Jane Maxwell Campbell. “It’s a sweet, light comedy that exposes young people to good literature.”
