Verona Area Community Theater

The Verona Area Community Theater production "The Importance of Being Earnest During a Pandemic" includes (clockwise from top left) Quinn Singer, Brianna Hill, Kelly Kendrick and Bill Owens.

The title of this updated version of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest is, ahem, very witty. Oscar himself would probably be amused, although perhaps bewildered by the virtual setting (video calls) as the farce meets both technology (false identities are harder to manage during video chats) and the pandemic. The script, by Don Zolidis, is from the "Stay At Home Play Collection" and the production is by Verona Area Community Theater. Tickets for the livestream ($5) at vact.org/tickets.

press release: Verona Area Community Theater’s newest virtual production is coming soon to a screen near you! Tickets are now available through the VACT online box office for The Importance of Being Earnest During a Pandemic, running February 12-13.

A twist on Oscar Wilde's classic play, The Importance of Being Earnest, this fresh new show takes place in a virtual setting, revolving around a series of video calls. When you get a notification that Earnest has entered your video call, but Earnest is your false identity...who in the world is about to log on? You're about to find out as this new medium ties an extra knot in the hilariously tangled web of this great show.

Show dates and times are: Friday, February 12: 7:00pm; Saturday, February 13: 2:00pm AND 7:00pm
