What

Austin Playhouse opens its 2025–26 season with Oscar Wilde’s classic comedy “The Importance of Being Earnest,” directed by Lara Toner Haddock. Performances run from September 19 to October 19 at Austin Playhouse West Campus.

Wilde’s sharp satire follows Jack and Algernon, two young men who create alter egos to escape social obligations, only to be caught in a web of mistaken identities, romantic entanglements, and biting wit. Featuring fast-paced dialogue and skewering commentary on Victorian etiquette, the play remains one of theatre’s most beloved comedies.
