FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONCORDIA TO PRESENT “THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST”
ANN ARBOR, Mich., March 18, 2008 – The Concordia University—Ann Arbor (CUAA) Theatre Department is proud to present “The Importance of Being Earnest” in the Kreft Center Black Box Theatre. The first three shows on April 17, 18, and 19 begin at 8:00 p.m. The final show will be presented on Sunday, April 20 with a matinee performance at 2:30 p.m.
Regarded by many scholars and critics as one of the wittiest plays in the English language, “The Importance of Being Earnest” is a classic comedy of manners 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. Wilde uses this plot device to skewer English social pretensions to hilarious effect.
Tickets for the show are .00 and can be purchased through the Kreft Center Box Office by calling (734)995-4612, or ordered on-line at www.cuaa.edu/boxoffice. CUAA is located at 4090 Geddes Road, in Ann Arbor, Michigan, just west of US-23 at exit 39.
