October 14. 7PM

The Importance of Being Earnest. RSVP.

Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest is a comedy of mistaken identity, which ridicules codes of propriety and etiquette. Dashing men-about-town John Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff pursue fair ladies Gwendolen Fairfax and Cecily Cardew. Matters are complicated by the imaginary characters invented by both men to cover their on-the-sly activities – not to mention the disapproval of Gwendolen’s mother, the formidable Lady Bracknell.

Tickets: $3 Students/ $5 General Admission Cast: John Worthing: Mike Bergeron Algernon Moncrieff: Jake Brady Gwendolen Fairfax: Sarina Kowaguchi Cecily Cardew: Christy Laubach Lady Bracknell: Amanda Greenslet Rev.

Sorenson Black Box.

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a comedic one-act musical that tells the stories of six spelling bee contestants. With the support of an overzealous host, a witty Vice Principal, and a not-so-comforting

Over the long weekend that follows, a burgeoning romance and the discovery of a mysterious notebook draw Catherine into the most difficult problem of all: How much of her father’s madness – or genius – will she inherit?
