The Importance of Being Earnest
By Oscar Wilde
Directed by Becky Potter

Production Dates: May 2 - 18 

Oscar Wilde’s timeless comedy cleverly satirizes Victorian mores. Jack and Algernon lead double lives, navigating the divide between the country and town as they vie for the affections of Gwendolen and Cecily. Cucumber sandwiches, a vicious tea, salacious diaries, and a handbag create a delightful comedy of manners, hailed as one of the most beloved plays of all time.

The Importance of Being Earnest features local performers Annie Larson, William Lewis, Isaac Oleole, Stefanie Suzuki, Lucy Swinson, Matthew Travisano, Mitchell VanLandingham, and Maureen-Theresa Williams. The design team includes costume design by Taśa Gleason, scenic design by Diane Rice, lighting design by Drea Schwartz, and sound design and dramaturgy by Annie Potter. Becky Potter directs, with Ali Arman Brown leading the stage management team.

Performances will take place at The Martinez Campbell Theatre, located at 636 Ward Street in Martinez. Ticket prices are $22-25, with discounted tickets available for $15 for the Thursday, May 8th performance. Please note that seats are now reserved at the Martinez Campbell Theatre, so buy your tickets soon to ensure your favorite seats!
