Join Strawdog Theatre this pride month for a modern, vibrant reimagining of Oscar Wilde’s classic comedy, 'The Importance of Being Earnest,'. In this fresh adaptation by Dusty Brown and Elizabeth Swanson, we explore love, queer identity, acceptance, and the pursuit of happiness. Set against the backdrop of Chicago’s Boystown and the lakes of Saugatuck, Michigan with wit as sharp as skyscrapers and charm as timeless as the prairie wind, 'The Importance of Being Earnest’ is a delightful celebration of love in all its forms. Performances run May 30 - June 30.

Tickets are free with reservation!
