Brian Bedford, Dana Ivey, Paxton Whitehead, Santino Fontana, David Furr, Sara Topham and Charlotte Parry in Oscar Wilde's THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST. THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST is a glorious comedy of mistaken identity, which ridicules codes of propriety and etiquette. Dashing men-about-town John Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff pursue fair ladies Gwendolen Fairfax and Cecily Cardew. Matters are complicated by the imaginary characters invented by both men to cover their on-the-sly activities - not to mention the disapproval of Gwendolen's mother, the formidable Lady Bracknell.

I dig the glasses that you're wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
You're pretty cute but not so hot you're out of my league
We make interesting conversation
Inside jokes random observations
I liked that time you called that one guy Idi Amin
Throw out a Simpson's reference and you pick it up
We can talk about things and you know about stuff
One time you almost won at jeopardy
Baby it's ok would you be my Tina Fey?
We could run away if you were my Tina Fey today today today
You like to watch the shows that I like
We get along and we never have fights
And you don't care if I hog the remote control
SNL, Curb Your Enthusiasm and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
But never Grey's cuz it's the lamest show in the world
Throw out a star wars reference and you pick it up
You're not like all the other girls who wince and
