Sadly, one [show] you might miss is The Importance of Being Earnest at OnStage Productions in Chula Vista. Set in New York in the 1950s against some attractive backdrops of the city skyline, I’m not sure why most of the cast had to assume English accents. Kelly Lapczynski plays a formidable Mrs. Bracknell (no lady in this one) and there is some earnest acting from the rest of the cast. One of my favorite plays, I really wanted to enjoy it, but left disappointed.
For my own part, however, I hope that being called out by my (correctly spelled) name in this instance as a "formidable" character is a compliment.
If it's not... don't tell me.

Being called formidable in the role of Bracknell is indeed a compliment. If you were playing Cecily or Gwendolen, you might have a problem.
Ha! Good point.
