The Importance of Being Earnest


Melissa just emailed this week. We haven't seen her for a while and decided to say "Hi Melissa" here on the blog.

In fall 2006 Gretchen and Melissa had the fun of working together in a weekend acting class. They were cast together in a scene from The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde.



Gwen the sophisticated 21 yr old meets Cicely the wide eyed 18 year old.








Gwen looks Cecily over and decides that they will be great friends.

They each talk about their engagements and show their rings.

They think that they are both engaged to Earnest.


They are verifying the dates and times of their engagements in order to decide who has the prior claim.

This was the best scene of "friendly" conversation while fighting over tea.

They did a splendid job. They have worked together in Passion Play for years and it was a pleasure to be able to stretch their wings with such a totally different exercise.

There were 4 to 5 scenes worked on over the weekend. Each pair of actors did their own costumes, set and staging for their scenes.

Do you recognize these actors?? They are now relatives and one is about to become a first time Dad! Hooray!

I didn't realize how long it had been since I had stopped by here! John & Kevin were in a play? I had no idea. I enjoy all your photos are witty comments. We're heading to Zion tomorrow...Oh I really should not be on the computer! Have a wonderful 4th of July weekend! Love, Colleen
