SATURDAY 01
Silver City/Grant County
The Importance of Being Earnest—Through April 8. In this Oscar Wilde
classic, Algernon Moncrief and Jack Worthing engage in a sometimes
suspenseful and always comical game of identity swapping. Each pretends
to be a man by the name of Ernest in hopes of winning the affections
of the women they pursue. But when little Cecily and Gwendolen (the
targets of their affection) meet in the rose garden, it becomes clear
that something is not right. Wilde's play takes place at the turn of
the 19th century when the Victorian era was on the decline and new
ideas about the world, including the marvels of the scientific age,
were just coming into being. Wilde's play on language and poking fun
of society maintains its wit and humor to this day. Presented by Western
New Mexico University's Expressive Arts Department Drama Discipline.
April 1, 7 and 8 at 7:30 p.m. and April 2 matinee at 2:30 p.m. Admission

Fuddy Meers—Fridays and Saturdays through
April 15. Claire has a rare form of psychogenic amnesia that erases
her memory whenever she goes to sleep. This morning, like all mornings,
she wakes up a blank slate. Her chipper husband comes in, explains
her condition and hands her a book filled with all sorts of essential
information. A limping, lisping, half-blind, half-deaf man in a
ski mask, pops out from under her bed and claims to be her brother,
there to save her. She's hustled off to the country house of her
mother (a recent stroke victim whose speech has been reduced to
utter gibberish.) Claire's journey gets even more complicated when
a dimwitted thug, her driven husband and perpetually stoned son
show up with a claustrophobic lady-cop that they've kidnapped.
This poignant and brutal new comedy traces one woman's attempt
to regain her memory while surrounded by a curio-cabinet of alarmingly
bizarre characters. $5. 8 p.m. Southwest Fitness Center, 1309 E.
