About Earnest (Synopsis, Considerations, & Artistic Team)
Length: The estimated performance length is 1hrs and 45min with intermission.
Synopsis: The Importance of Being Earnest is the most renowned of Oscar Wilde’s comedies. It’s the story of two bachelors, John ‘Jack’ Worthing and Algernon ‘Algy’ Moncrieff, who create alter egos named Ernest to escape their tiresome lives. They attempt to win the hearts of two women who, conveniently, claim to only love men called Ernest. The pair struggle to keep up with their own stories and become tangled in a tale of deception, disguise and misadventure. The elaborate plot ridicules Victorian sensibilities with some of the best loved, and indeed bizarre, characters to be found on the modern stage.
Considerations: Appropriate for all ages, most enjoyed by those 10+ years old.
Artistic Team & Crew:
Director: Josh Carter
Assistant Director & Stage Manager: Louis Kruse
Assistant Stage Manager: Avery Long
Assistant Stage Manager: Natalee Boyd
Props Tech: Ari Babasin
Producer: Rose Thoman

FLEXPAY
Imagine strives to keep arts affordable and attainable for all. For the run of The Importance of Being Earnest, our March 11th 6pm performance is the designated "FlexPay" performance. This means that for this performance patrons have two options - pay the regular price using the ABOVE widgets OR pay what ever is best for them using the BELOW widget.
When using FlexPay, you get to choose how much you pay out of pocket to attend the performance. Due to the way the system works, FlexPay will not allow you to choose your own seats. After you make the payment of your choice and complete the check-out process, you will receive a separate ticket confirmation email (within 3 business days) informing you of the exact seats that have been reserved.
Here is how it works:
At this time, 15 seats are set aside for FlexPay on March 11th, 6pm.
