Arvada Center: The Importance of Being Earnest
January 20 - February 19, 2012
Two shows added Sunday, Feb 12 & 19 at 7:30 p.m.
The Importance of Being Earnest
By Oscar Wilde
Directed by Rod A. Lansberry
A story of budding romance and feigned identity, this Oscar Wilde play is a humorous exposé on British society and pokes gentle fun at pretense, all in the context of well-crafted language and delightful repartee. Oscar Wilde’s classic period piece remains as witty, engaging, and relevant as when it first premiered in 1895 London.

Shadow-interpreted theater utilizes specially trained American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters to perform as “shadows” on stage alongside actors. Shadow theater marries sign language with choreographed movement, allowing the sign language to become a seamless part of the theater experience. In this way, audience members who are deaf, hard of hearing or language delayed can simultaneously see and “hear” the complete theater performance in the same way as hearing audiences. Shadow theater is also enjoyed by hearing audiences as an innovative art form and educational opportunity. Similar to watching a film with subtitles, viewers benefit from a rich bilingual experience and gain an appreciation for another language.
