AQUILA THEATRE PERFORMS OSCAR WILDE'S
THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST
On Wednesday, March 21 at 7:30 p.m., Aquila Theatre brings Oscar Wilde's masterpieceto life in Macky Auditorium. Aquila Theatre's tantalizing production of The Importance of Being Earnest overflows with humor, elegance and romantic comedy. The New York Times has described Aquila's productions as "gleefully engaging...almost unbearable fun...directed with inspiration and a beautiful use of physical humor." With larger-than-life characters and memorable satirical humor, Aquila's creative staging and sparkling flare for language makes this production one not to be missed. Single tickets start at $12 and are available CU Presents Box Office at 303-492-8008. www.cupresents.org |

Biography
Aquila Theatre
In 1991, Artistic Director Peter Meineck founded Aquila Theatre with the desire to create bold reinterpretations of classical plays for contemporary audiences that sought to free the spirit of the original work and recreate the excitement of the live performance that made it become a classic play. Based in New York City since 1999, Aquila has gone on to win popular, critical and academic acclaim worldwide and regularly appears at international festivals with performances in places as diverse as Carnegie Hall, the Ancient Stadium at Delphi, The Los Angeles Cathedral Plaza and the White House. Aquila presents a season of classical plays in New York at the NYU Skirball Center for the Performing Arts, tours nationwide to between 50-70 cities per year and provides the following extensive educational programming: Shakespeare Leaders, an after-school program in Harlem and the Bronx, which trains students to perform and produce a classical play; Workshop America, a nationwide initiative designed to demystify classical drama whilst making theatre-going an un-intimidating experience; and Theatre Breakthrough, which provides a unique opportunity for students in underserved rural and urban communities to witness a live performance at a professional theatre.
