Burien Actors Theatre is taking it to the parks with the comedy “The Importance of Being Earnest”
This hilarious, family-friendly adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s farce has fictitious personas, romantic proposals, and the big shoulders of the 1980s.
BAT is taking it to the streets (well, the parks anyway) with a beautiful adapation by 
Rachel Rene of the family-friendly comedy The Importance of Being Earnest. Set in 1985 with all of the big hair and Valley Girl charm that goes with that, this show will make you laugh out loud.
Oscar Wilde’s farce follows the story of two men who use fictitious personas to escape the social standards of the Valley Girl era. The show is full of dramatic, romantic proposals that are thwarted by the fearsome Lady Bracknell–and the insistence of the two women the men are infatuated that they can only marry a man if his name is Ernest.
