“The Importance of Being Earnest” by Oscar Wilde (A Staged Reading)

Adapted by Branden Smith
January 7 and 10
Grace Gamm Theater, Dairy Arts Center

As a thank you to our wonderful Boulder Ensemble Theatre Company community, and all those donors who gave during Colorado Gives Day, BETC offers four staged readings of Oscar Wilde’s classic comedy The Importance of Being Earnest (adapted by Branden Smith) — A deliciously British lampooning of Victorian sensibilities in which two bachelors create alter egos to escape their tiresome lives but find themselves struggling to keep up with the women they adore and the stories they’ve concocted.
