The Importance of Being Earnest
Presented by the Picnic Theater Company

Picnic Theatre Company presents "The Importance of Being Earnest" June 20th, taking place in the Woodlawn Mansion Fountain Garden - Garden opens at 5:30 p.m., show at 7 p.m.
Oscar Wilde’s wildly entertaining 1895 comedy “The Importance of Being Earnest: A Trivial Comedy for Serious People” features two carefree bachelors, each with a carefully hidden double life that quickly unravels. Silliness ensues with jealous fiancées, whimsical ingénues, scheming society matrons, and the most famous handbag in theater history. Join Picnic Theatre Company at Woodlawn for a garden cocktail party and one-act performance of the play that the London Telegraph calls “the most perfect comedy in the English language.”
Bring your own picnic or order one from us! Come at 5:30PM to grab a drink and enjoy our garden while you picnic, and the show begins at 7PM! Rain or shine, tented if rain.
