Encore: A Woman of No Importance May 7-16, 2021
The real hero is always right beside you. All Gerald knows is he just landed his dream job with the lothario, Lord Illingworth. What he doesn’t know is why his mother is so opposed to him taking it. She hasn’t told him that Illingworth is his father who abandoned her while she was pregnant and wants to steal Gerald away. Oscar Wilde lends us his sharp wit for this perfect addition to Mother’s Day.
