The Importance of Being Earnest
Competitive One Act Play
The Importance of Being Earnest
A comedic play by Oscar Wilde, first performed in 1895, The Importance of Being Earnest is a satire on Victorian society, focusing on the absurdities of social conventions, identity, and marriage.
​
The story revolves around two young men, Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff, who both lead double lives in order to escape societal expectations. As the story unfolds, misunderstandings and mistaken identities ensue, leading to a series of humorous and absurd situations.
​
Wilde uses the play to mock the absurdities of social conventions, class, and the trivial nature of identity, while also delivering sharp dialogue and satirical commentary.

When Eleanor uses a chatbot to write a paper on The Great Gatsby for her, she figures it’s not that big of a deal. But when her chatbot writes a great essay, she’s sent to a special school for genius children. Except every other student also used a chatbot to get into the special genius children school.

HADESTOWN
TEEN EDITION
This intriguing and beautiful folk opera delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience. Following two intertwining love stories – that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of immortal King Hades and Lady Persephone – Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Inspired by traditions of classic American folk music and vintage New Orleans jazz, Mitchell’s beguiling sung-through musical pits industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love
