Romance, false identities, and sparkling wit take the stage in Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest.

Wilde’s enduring comedy delights in the ridiculousness of the Victorian upper class while asking questions about what is “fake” and what is “true.”

Part new music ensemble, part American roots string band, and part historical music excavators, the conservatory punks of Kaley Lane Eaton’s Plectrum Five combine experimental timbres with Rocky Mountain folk traditions.

Joined by harp and cello duo Strange Interlude, the ensemble presents Eaton’s acoustic chamber-folk song cycle Maverick Granddaughter, an original epic poem intertwined with frontier songs and the story of seven generations of only daughters. This performance marks Eaton’s SCU debut.
