Final Weekend for "The Importance of Being Earnest" at Fine Arts
by Wanda Wareham 27 Apr '18

27 Apr '18

Final Weekend for The Fine Arts Association's production of "The Importance of Being Earnest" By Oscar Wilde Directed by Ann Hedger Read the reviews: https://www.clevelandjewishnews.com/news/fine-arts-association-s-earnest-fu… http://www.news-herald.com/arts-and-entertainment/20180423/fine-arts-associ… About the Show: The Importance of Being Earnest is the most renowned of Oscar Wilde's comedies. It's the story of two bachelors, John 'Jack' Worthing and Algernon 'Algy' Moncrieff, who create alter egos named Ernest to escape their tiresome lives. They attempt to win the hearts of two women who, conveniently, claim to only love men called Ernest. The pair struggle to keep up with their own stories and become tangled in a tale of deception, disguise and misadventure. The elaborate plot ridicules Victorian sensibilities with some of the best loved, and indeed bizarre, characters<http://www.importanceofbeingearnest.co.uk/characters/> to be found on the modern stage. Performance Dates: April 20-29, 2018 Fridays/Saturdays 7:30 pm; Sundays 2:00 pm in the Corning Auditorium. Tickets: Online at https://www.fineartsassociation.org/performance/ or by phone at (440) 951-7500 Cast: Carolyn Pelley Clerget, Kiara Kennelly, Jack Warren, Mark Cipra, Nancy Shimonek Brooks, Nick Grimsic, Matt Mortensen Seth Clerget, Bob McCoy Production Team: David Malinowski (Set Design), Rebecca Hannen (Stage Manager), Michael Roesch (Technical Director), Paul Gatzke (Lighting Design), Tom Linsenmeier (Sound Design), Hannah Sandham (Costume Design) The Fine Arts Association 38660 Mentor Avenue Willoughby, OH 44094 www.fineartsassociation.org<http://www.fineartsassociation.org> Like Us on Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/TheFineArtsAssociation> | Follow Us on Twitter<https://twitter.com/TheFineArtsAssn> | Follow us on Instagram<https://www.instagram.com/fineartsassoc/>

Gender: Female Trevor Graydon An executive at the Sincere Trust Insurance Company. He is sharp, ambitious, and secretly romantic. Gender: Male Muzzy Van Hossmere A glamorous actress and singer at a night club. She becomes Millie's friend and mentor. Gender: Female *It is the authors' preference that, for thematic reasons, the role of Muzzy be played by an actress of color as an African-American character. Traditionally show business was one of the only ways an African American could circumvent the worst of racism and embark on the same kind of self-reinvention that Millie is attempting -- and, in 1922, there were limited avenues for that trajectory available to African-Americans. That said, from a narrative perspective, the story can be told no matter what the race of the actress playing Muzzy. Ensemble Moderns; Stenographers; Hotel Priscilla Girls; Muzzy's Boys
