Performances: April 4 - 13, 2025

Cast of Characters:

• John (Jack/Ernest) Worthing, J.P. (Age: late 20s-early 30s) - The play's protagonist. Jack Worthing is a seemingly responsible and respectable young man who leads a double life. 

• Algernon Moncrieff (Age: late 20s-early 30s) - The play's secondary hero. Algernon is brilliant, witty, selfish, amoral, and given to making delightful paradoxical and epigrammatic pronouncements. 

• Gwendolen Fairfax (Age: early 20s) - Algernon's cousin and Lady Bracknell's daughter. She is sophisticated, intellectual, cosmopolitan, and utterly pretentious. 

• Cecily Cardew (Age: early 20s) - Jack's ward, the granddaughter of the old gentlemen who found and adopted Jack when Jack was a baby. Cecily is probably the most realistically drawn character in the play.

• Lane (Age: 30-65) - Algernon's manservant.
