Depot Playhouse Opens THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST Tonight

Depot Playhouse presents The Importance of Being Earnest, tonight, September 5-28. The Project Gutenberg Adaptation in Two Acts of The Importance of Being Earnest, a classic comedy of manners, by Oscar Wilde, in which two flippant young men, in order to impress their respected beloveds, pretend that their names are "Ernest," which both young ladies believe confers magical qualities on the possessor. It was first performed for the public on February 14, 1895 at the St. James' Theatre in London, and is regarded by many critics and scholars as being the wittiest play in the English language. It is being presented as part of the Mysterium Theater 5th Anniversary celebration.

Tickets available at Mysterium Box Office 714-505-3454 or at mysteriumtheater.com. Group rates are available.

Before each Sunday's Show Tea: Enjoy plates of dainty finger sandwiches, little cakes and sweet morsels along with Pots of Tea. Tickets for this delicious event are an additional $15.00 and MUST BE MADE IN ADVANCE.
