The Importance of Being Earnest
June 5-7; Encore June 12
Stage Door Productions is bringing Oscar Wilde’s classic comedy The Importance of Being Earnest to the stage in a virtual performance.
The Importance of Being Earnest was once called by critic W.H. Auden, “the only pure verbal opera in English.” It tells the story of two young gentlemen living in London who create elaborate deceptions and use a pseudonym to escape the troubles of their everyday lives. Unfortunately, both end up using same name—Ernest Worthing—and chaos ensues.
The Importance of Being Earnest will be available for a private virtual stream on YouTube starting Friday, June 5 at 7pm. Patrons can purchase tickets via the link above. All ticket sales must be accompanied by an email. Patrons will receive a confirmation notice within 24 hours of purchase and another email on the day of release with a personalized link to Stage Door’s private premiere.

Alice @ Wonderland - JULY
Stage Door Youth
What would happen if a 21st century Alice collided with Lewis Carroll’s legendary Wonderland? This modern retelling of the classic children’s story has all of the characters you know and love, including the Mad Hatter, the White Rabbit and the Queen of Hearts. The story is laid out in traditional style, except that Alice is distinctly contemporary, complete with cell phone in hand. Full of references to text messaging and social media, the play imagines a present-day Alice encountering the Wonderland so many of us treasure. A sharply told, crisply paced ride, this quality adaptation has been praised for its humor, modern style and appeal to both children and adults. This performance will be available virtually. Stay tuned for details.
Spring Awakening - TBA
May be inappropriate for 13 and under. (Spring Awakening is recommended for mature audiences - for strong language, and adult themes.)
Spring Awakening is a rock musical with music by Duncan Sheik and a book and lyrics by Steven Sater. It is based on the 1891 German play Spring Awakening by Frank Wedekind. Set in late 19th-century Germany, the musical tells the story of teenagers discovering the inner and outer tumult of teenage sexuality.
