The Importance of being Earnest
THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST By Oscar Wilde The importance of being Earnest is a “trivial comedy for serious people!” The play is hilarious. It’s a normal love story (or stories?) with abnormal twists. The comedy satirizes the upper crust of Victorian conventions-respectability, marriage, and social obligations. The play tells the tale of two young men who bend the truth in order to escape family obligations and capture the hearts of their true loves. The ensuing chaos that results from their web of deceit leads to more surprises for all of those involved. The play is considered to be Oscar Wilde’s most brilliant... Full story >>

There’s the fabulous dress you bought for the date with a guy who married someone else. The spandex... Full story >>
Dividing the Estate
DIVIDING THE ESTATEBy Horton Foote Have you ever fought among family members about money, about who is the favorite, about what everyone else should do in order for you not to go insane and take an ax to the whole clan? Then you will identify with the characters in Dividing the Estate. The play is very funny, while at the same time it is heartbreaking, poignant, and dead serious about American life in the latter part of the 20th Century. The Gordons of Harrison, Texas have always been a greedy, gossipy clan. Now the malcontents from the Huston branch of the family come to the homestead and make pettiness an art form as they tangle...
