American Coast Theater Company (ACTC) Presents the Orange County premiere, music by Bret Simmons, book & lyrics by David Howard. ACTC is the professional resident theatre on the campus of Vanguard University at The Lyceum Theater.

With its mistaken identities, sudden engagements, and outrageous coincidences, Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest has delighted audiences for over a century and is undoubtedly one of the funniest plays ever written. And how best to bring this timeless comedy into its next century than by adding the one thing it lacks- music! This delightful new musical illuminates Wilde’s play through songs filled with his biting, cynical wit; brilliant social commentary; and soaring heartfelt romance.

Playing May 22 - June 8, Sat & Sun matinees 2pm & Thursday - Saturday 7:30pm. 2-hour duration with intermission. Purchase tickets at ACTCTickets.com OR call Box Office at 714-668-6145. Tickets are $20-$30. Ask for group rate! No children under 6. www.AmericanCoastTheater.com
