As a close to their 2011-12 season, the Gainesville Theatre Alliance has brought to the stage Oscar Wilde’s best loved comedy of manners "The Importance of Being Earnest," a play concerning two wealthy bachelors in Victoria-era England and their respective fraudulent identities, both of which end up causing them more trouble than trouble saved. The play opens on April 10 at Gainesville State College’s Ed Cabell Theatre, 3820 Mundy Mill Road in Oakwood, and runs through April 21. Wilde’s masterpiece is directed by resident director Elisa Carlson, who directed last year’s "A Midsummer Night’s Dream," which led her to serve on the artistic staff at the world-renowned Guthrie Theatre in Minneonapolis, MN. Carlson also coached voice for professional productions in theater and film across the country including more than 25 productions at Atlanta’s Alliance Theatre.
