THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST, a comedy for "serious" people
Written by Oscar Wilde, adapted by Storyteller Theatre
Directed by Justice Wickstrom
The Importance of Being Earnest endures in popularity nearly 130 years after its' premiere as Oscar Wilde's most popular comedy. It's the story of two bachelors, John "Jack" Worthing and Algernon "Algy" Moncrieff, who fantasize their ordinary lives with an alter ego named "Ernest". The two seek to win the affections of Gwendolyn and Cecily, who, conveniently, claim to only love men called Ernest. As Jack and Algy struggle to keep up with their own stories, they become tangled in a tale of deception, disguise and hilarious misadventure. This farcical comedy was written by Wilde to ridicule and poke fun of the elite social class of the Victorian era with some of the most beloved, albeit bizarre, characters found on the modern stage.

THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK
A Play by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett / Based upon ANNE FRANK: THE DIARY OF A YOUNG GIRL / Newly adapted by Wendy Kesselman
Directed by Brenna Wickstrom
In this transcendently powerful new adaptation by Wendy Kesselman, Anne Frank emerges from history a living, lyrical, intensely gifted young girl who confronts her rapidly changing life and the increasing horror of her time with astonishing honesty, wit and determination.
An impassioned drama about the lives of eight people hiding from the Nazis in a concealed storage attic, The Diary of Anne Frank captures the claustrophobic realities of their daily existence – their fear, their hope, their laughter, their grief. Each day of these two dark years, Anne's voice shines through: "When I write, I shake off all my cares. But I want to achieve more than that. I want to be useful and bring enjoyment to all people, even those I've never met. I want to go on living even after my death!" This is a new adaptation for a new generation.
