Repercussion Theatre & Persephone Productions Proudly Presented:

SHAKESPEARE-IN-THE-PARK 2025

The Importance of Being Earnest

For the summer of 2025, Shakespeare-in-the-Park is going Wilde! Yes, Repercussion Theatre and Persephone Productions have come together to bring you Oscar Wilde’s beloved comedy, The Importance of Being Earnest (directed by Rebecca Gibian and Adam Capriolo.) In this sidesplitting satire of manners and mistaken identity, Wilde dazzles with wit and wordplay, while positively skewering the strictures of social stratification. With a terrific ensemble of 6 dazzling performers, and the magical outdoor setting you’ve come to expect from Shakespeare-in-the-Park, this production proposes the perfect summer evening. So hold onto your handbags and pack your cucumber sandwiches, because you won’t want to miss this tantalizing treat!
