Step into the hilarious and witty world of The Importance of Being Earnest, Oscar Wilde’s sparkling comedy of manners, with A Place For Us Productions’ first teen production. Our vibrant and thoroughly entertaining theatrical production perfectly captures the wit, charm, and biting social satire of the original play. Directed by Alexandra Rovirosa, this new interpretation brings fresh energy to Wilde’s beloved masterpiece while staying true to the wit and wordplay that has made the play a timeless classic.
Set in the late 19th century, the play revolves around two charming but mischievous bachelors, Algernon Moncrieff and John Worthing, who each lead double lives to escape the constraints of Victorian society. John, who uses the name "Ernest" when in town, seeks to win the hand of Gwendolen Fairfax, who is obsessed with the name. Meanwhile, Algernon adopts the persona of "Ernest" to woo Cecily Cardew, John’s young ward. However, as lies compound upon lies, mistaken identities and a series of comic misunderstandings ensue, culminating in a brilliantly absurd and heartwarming conclusion.

In September 2023, A Place for Us Productions opened our inaugural show, the 1963 musical, She Loves Me. Now, almost a year later, we are so incredibly thrilled to announce our second musical, the award-winning 2008 Broadway triumph, A Tale of Two Cities The Musical.
Based on Charles Dickens’ classic story of “the best of times and the worst of times,” and with book, music, and lyrics written by Jill Santoriello, A Tale of Two Cities The Musical is the story of love, honor, and sacrifice in the shadow of the French Revolution. Combining Dickens’ unforgettable characters with Santoriello’s soaring songs, we are honored to be able to tell this tale of the strength it takes to survive tragedy, the power of forgiveness, and the way that unconditional love changes lives.

From the creators behind the classic musical Fiddler On the Roof comes this timeless story of two co-workers in a parfumerie store in 1930’s Budapest who can barely stand each other, not realizing that they are falling in love as anonymous correspondents through their letters! The story is based on the play Parfumerie by Miklos Laszlo, which inspired the film adaptations The Shop Around the Corner starring James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan, and You’ve Got Mail starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.
