The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde and directed by Elizabeth Tracey stars Bryant Duffy, Michael Penick, Rachael Lindhart, Amy Schaefer, Sofia Perez, Roxanne Gustaveson and Kevin Burford. Set in fashionable Victorian London, Jack and Algernon escape their responsibilities by leading adventurous double lives.  Full of Oscar Wilde’s dazzling wordplay, this beloved comedy leaves no doubt that fact is more fanciful than fiction.

‘ART’ is a funny, sophisticated and moving comedy about what we value – and whether it’s beautiful. Winner of the 1998 Tony for Best Play and the 1996 Olivier Award for Best Comedy.  Directed by Elizabeth Tracey and starring Brett Borden, Kehry Anson Lane and Rip Russell. This virtual performance is professionally filmed and streamed right into your home!

It’s about hitting the wall and having to make a choice… or take a stand… or turn around and go back. These are the stories and characters of today, the Songs for a New World.
