This October, the theatre department will perform the plays “The Importance of Being Earnest” by Oscar Wilde and “Hay Fever” by Noel Coward on rotation.

From the Theatre & Performance Schedule: “In rotating rep, you can come on one night and see Wilde’s rambunctious romp through Victorian ideals. Identity and class try to get in the way of true love (and tea and cake) in this classic comedy of love.  Come back another night to see Coward’s take on class and manners in the Jazz age of the 1920s. The Bliss family doesn’t like to play by the rules and their hapless guests are at the mercy of these eccentric oddballs.”

Location: Center for Art & Theatre, Black Box Theatre
