(2025) The Importance of Being Earnest
Friday, June 27, 2025 at 7:00PM

The History Museum's Historic Oliver Gardens
The History Museum
808 W Washington St
South Bend, IN 46601


Presented at The History Museum's Historic Oliver Gardens
*This production will be presented in an outdoor setting*

This “Trivial Comedy for Serious People”, by Oscar Wilde, is part satire, part comedy of manners, and part intellectual farce. 
What happens when two grand bachelors take on the name Ernest in order to woo the ladies they love… who insist on finding husbands with that name? 
Join us to discover the importance of being earnest while living in the age of ideals!

SEATING: We encourage you to bring your own seating options (camper chairs, blankets, etc.) to enjoy this experience on the green space in the Historic Oliver Gardens.

All shows start at 7:00pm. 

Run Time: This show is almost 3 hours long with 2 intermissions. 

**There are no refunds offered for “Acts of God” or external factors beyond CIVIC's control, such as inclement weather**
