The Trinity High School fall play, “The Importance of Being Ernest,” has the potential to be a home run, according to members of the production that opens Nov. 6 and runs through Nov. 17 with 10 performances.

Trinity senior and star actor Matthew Condon thinks this play will hit Trinity’s stage at the perfect time.

Condon said, “I think the director, Mr. (William P.) Bradford, wanted to do this show when he had a fitting cast.”

Mr. CJ Rush is the production’s first-year producer.

“The Importance of Being Earnest” is an Oscar Wilde satire following two men, Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff, who will stop at nothing to find true love. The men both assume the alias “Ernest,” and shenanigans ensue when their prospective partners find out.

The buzz around Trinity’s campus surrounding the fall play is ramping up, too.

“I’m pretty excited,” Trinity senior Nick Miller said. “It’s going to be poppin’!” Miller has several friends in the play and can’t wait to see them in action.

“I think this could be the best show out of my four years,” said Condon, who plays Algernon. “I love my role and my character’s responsibilities. This show has the potential to be fantastic. Without a doubt, this comedy will make you laugh.”

Condon, along with the other actors and tech crew, pours his heart into Trinity productions. The rehearsals require more than 20 hours per week.

Master electrician and Trinity senior Will Cameron also praised the potential the play has. While he does not appear on stage, he controls all the lights and manages the light board –  a crucial job in the craft of theatre.

“I feel this play is going to be a big one,” Cameron said. “We have some big things planned for the set changes during the performance. I think this will be an exciting (play) to work and perform in.”

Based on the word around campus, if you’ve never seen a Trinity production, start with this one. All in all, the mojo is flowing and the chemistry between the actors seems fantastic.
