Fall Play
The fall play looks for a show every year that allows our students to have a full educational experience of what it means to be in all all aspects of theater. On our main stage, we have performed everything from children's theater to the insane comedy to the most tear jerking drama. As a staff we are always looking for opportunities to innovate with our students and for our audience. Welcome, and enjoy the show! If you have any questions about the fall play, please reach out to Mr. Lundy (benaiah_lundy@ipsd.org).

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST
Oscar Wilde’s brilliantly clever comedic masterpiece, The Importance of Being Earnest, tells the story of two young gentlemen in London, who each live a double-life, creating elaborate deceptions to find some balance in their lives. John Worthing escapes the burdens of responsibility to have an exciting life in the city, pretending to be his fictitious younger brother Ernest. Algernon Moncrieff, meanwhile, has invented a convenient invalid, Bunbury, whom he uses as an excuse to gallivant off to the country whenever he pleases. When John falls in love with Algernon’s cousin, Gwendolen, he is determined to come clean, but when Gwendolen reveals she can only love a man named Ernest, it somewhat complicates things. When Algernon discovers John’s secret and decides to visit John’s pretty little ward in the country, posing as the debauched “Ernest,” the situation gets entirely more complicated! Oscar Wilde's brilliant comedy captures with wit and charm the absurdity and delight of the Victorian "age of surfaces" (as Lady Bracknell calls it), while capturing the struggle of four passionate lovers trying to conform to expectations and, in the most roundabout and delightfully funny way possible, love who they wish and live how they want.
