The Student Theatrical Experience Fund, a partnership with the Student Government Association and Theatre Wesleyan established in 2016, will be available to the students for the upcoming production of The Importance of Being Earnest. The fund helps TXWES students see Theatre Wesleyan shows for free.

The Importance of Being Earnest is a glorious comedy of mistaken identity, which ridicules codes of propriety and etiquette. Dashing men-about-town John Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff pursue fair ladies Gwendolen Fairfax and Cecily Cardew. Matters are complicated by the imaginary characters invented by both men to cover their on-the-sly activities — not to mention the disapproval of Gwendolen's mother, the formidable Lady Bracknell.

Performances of The Importance Of Being Earnest will be held at the Thad Smotherman Theatre/Law Sone Fine Arts building:

• Thursday, November 13 at 7:30 pm
• Friday, November 14 at 7:30 pm
• Saturday, November 15 at 7:30 pm
• Thursday, November 20
• Friday, November 21 at 7:30 pm
• Saturday, November 22 at 7:30 pm Matinee
