“The Importance of Being Earnest”: The Encore Musical Theatre Company
Every Thurs.–Sun., Apr. 24–May 4. Vincent J. Cardinal directs this local professional company in Oscar Wilde’s deliciously irreverent comedy of manners, a late Victorian classic whose strongest attraction is Wilde’s wonderfully etched epigrammatic language. The story concerns a foundling who must establish his bona fides to the satisfaction of his prospective mother-in-law, London’s leading social dragon, who is not about to allow her daughter to marry a nobody. Fred Grandy plays the formidable Lady Bracknell. 7:30 p.m. (today, Fri., & Sat.), 2 p.m. (Sat. & Sun.), & 3 p.m. (May 1), Encore Maas Main Stage, 7714 Ann Arbor St., Dexter. Tickets $43.50–$60.50 (under age 18, $28) in advance at theencoretheatre.org and, if available, at the door. (734) 268–6200.
