The Importance of Being Earnest
This year, the Drama Club travels back to the late Victorian era to present "The Importance of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde. The play satirizes the rigid social conventions, hypocrisy, and artificiality of upper-class life in 19th century England.
Performances are Thursday, April 23, and Friday, April 24 at 7 pm. Doors open at 6:30 pm and van service will be available between the school and the Jackson Heights/Roosevelt Avenue MTA station. The show will be performed in American Sign Language with English interpretation.
Tickets may be purchased on-line or at the door. Prices are $10 for adults and $5 for students.

Drama Club Overview
The Lexington Drama Club is committed to providing theatrical and artistic educational opportunities to students. Through membership in the Drama Club, students gain a diverse experience in the arts, both on-stage and behind the scenes. Students learn about acting, stage terminology, set building, lighting, costuming, makeup, and program design.
Drama Club strengthens students’ communication and interpersonal skill and promotes literacy and critical thinking. Students gain a greater sense of independence, confidence, and responsibility - qualities that transfer over to their everyday lives.
Participation is open to any high school student who would like to participate and can commit to the attendance expectations for their role. Rehearsals are held after-school and, occasionally, on weekends. Students should be able to travel independently or have transportation provided by their parents or guardians. Evening performances are usually held in mid-December and are open to the general public for a nominal ticket price.
