Theatre Roanoke College Winter Production: “The Importance of Being Earnest” by Oscar Wilde: The event will be Feb. 23- 25 at 7:30 p.m. in the Olin Theater It is directed by Danielle Barre. Jack and Algernon are both trying to woo their lady loves. The two charming young ladies – sophisticated Gwendolen from the city and naive Cecily from the country – are in love with Earnest Worthing. But there is no such person as Earnest Worthing. Gwendolen thinks Jack is Earnest, and Cecily thinks Algernon is Earnest. Each girl swears that she could never love a man who wasn’t named Earnest. In the midst of all this confusion comes Lady Bracknell, who doesn’t like the idea of anybody loving anybody. Wilde unwinds this knotty affair into one of the favorite comedies of English literature. Tickets are $7 for general admission or $5 for seniors/students. Tickets are available by calling 540-375-2333 or by emailing boxoffice@roanoke.edu.
