Oscar Wilde Reading:
The Importance of Being Earnest

Tom Walsh (green shirt) plays an excellent Algernon.

Erica Pinkston's wonderfully furnished home is the setting of the reading.

Oklahoma Congressman Ernest Istook, who played the part of Lane, serves as the night's Honorary Earnest.

Erica Pinkston (left), the night's host, is a lively, delightful Lady Bracknell. Micah, Peter, and Tracey and Kevin Johnson follow along.

Congressman Istook recounts his radio days and the importance of not being Ernest.

Come join us for what must be one of the funniest plays ever written: Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest (A Trivial Comedy for Serious People). We've got a pretty impressive cast :-), but if you're dying to read a part I'm sure a few of us (including me) might be willing to bow out.

What: Reading of Oscar Wilde's play, The Importance of Being Earnest

When: Monday, May 22nd, 7:30 p.m.

Where: Monday at Micah's is going on the road! We won't be meeting at Micah's place this time, instead we will be meeting just a few blocks away at the house of a friend of Amy Fox, Erica Pinkston (send email to address at bottom of page if you need directions)

What to bring: Erica and Amy are generously providing all the refreshments, so simply bring yourself, and a copy of the text to read or follow along (you can print one out at http://www.hoboes.com/html/FireBlade/Wilde/FullEarnest/ -- or if you don't have time, there will probably be some extra copies there)
