HDA's "Earnest" Delivers Epic Performances & Laughs
Congratulations to the cast and crew of the Hopkins Drama Association's production of The Importance of Being Earnest!
Directed by Mike Calderone, the cast expertly presented the classic play by Oscar Wilde, delivering "saucy Victorian humor" with impressive British accents. The small, but mighty, cast had the audience in stitches with their witty delivery, and perfectly timed throwing of muffins.
Three performances were held at the Woodbridge Club, Thursday, April 25 through Saturday, April 27.
