Hilton Head Preparatory School brings one of the most acclaimed comedies ever to the stage this fall with a hilarious production of Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest". At
Unequivocally one of the funniest satires ever written, "The Importance of Being Earnest" was Oscar Wilde's final play and follows two bachelors, Jack Worthington and Algernon, leading double lives to court the attentions of the exquisitely desirable Gwendolyn Fairfax and Cecily Cardew who both have their hearts set on marrying a man named Earnest. In order to pursue the romance, both men concoct an elaborate deception which leads to an even more outlandish surprise when the formidable Lady Bracknell starts sleuthing about for the far-fetched truth.
Once again, Trecker White has double cast many of the parts so you will want to see this show more than once. The talented cast includes Senior veteran actors Zach June (Jack), Jack Dextraze (Algernon), Kate Herman (Gwendolyn) and Jackson Puckey (Chasuble). You will certainly recognize many of the actors from past Prep productions of "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown", "Thoroughly Modern Mille" and other plays directed by Trecker White, at the helm of the Performing Arts Department at Prep since 2013.
