The light-hearted comedy of man- ners centers around the dream man of two proper English ladies, Cecily and Gwendoline. ln their desire to be engaged to the ladies, both Algernon and Jack pretend to have the name Ernest. The typically complicated plot of f . Oscar Wilde made the play a difficult , T . .. undertaking, but with assistant direc- Sf Y tor Lynn Schaffer's help, it ran smoothly. gg. Ms. Price attributed the success of the play to the cast and crew, saying they lived up to and surpassed all expectations. However, Tim Meeks, who played Lane, added The success of the pro- duction was largely because of Ms. Price's fine directing. To the credit of all involved, The Importance of Being Earnest will stand on its own in a long line of suc- cessful productions. 1. An irate Lady Bracknell CBeth Olsony rants and raves over her daughter's sudden engagement. 2. Merriman fRandy Greathouseb, Lane Ulm Meeksj, Miss Prism fMatty Blevinsj and Dr. Chausable CNick Vincellij drew laughs with their droll wit. 3. To put him at ease while she greases his hair back, Director Mary Price chats with Barton Faulks during a dress rehearsal. 4. Gwendoline lDiana Toupiny listens in discomfi- ture while Cecily CCarolyn Footeb innocently dis- closes that they are both engaged to Ernest. 5.
