TO LIE OR NOT TO LIE Hiwassee Presents The Importance of Being Earnest Together ten Hiwassee students made up the smallest cast in eleven years for Theatre Hiwassee s production of The Im¬ portance of Being Earnest. Oscar Wilde incorporated comic deception and misun¬ derstandings in this play for hilarious re¬ sults. The leads were Jack, played by Brett Hart, who introduced the deception by pre¬ tending to be Earnest and ended up being Earnest all the time; Gwendolyn, played by Liana Ruebush, a debutante who refused to marry Jack unless he was Earnest; Al¬ gernon, played by Bobby Thompson, a playboy of the 1900’s dedicated to his fa¬ vorite hobby of Bunburing; and Cecily, played by Ferol Howard, an intelligent air¬ head who proved she could match wits with a true Bunburist. Supporting characters included Lady Bracknell, played by Traci Childress, a high class snob who believed marriage was based on money instead of love; Miss Prism, played by Kelly Jenkins, Cecily’s absentminded tutor who enjoyed discuss¬ ing , ‘fruits ,, with Dr. Chausable, played by Mike Tate, who gave up his vow of celibacy for an effervescent Miss Prism. Other characters were Lane, played by John Roberson; Merriman, played by John White; and maid (Daisy), played by Michelle Gonzales. This play was a favorite of the cast and audience alike.
