Kitchen Theatre Company
Jack Worthing has invented a brother named Ernest whose guise he takes when fleeing his country obligations for London. Gwendolyn Fairfax has fallen in love with Earnest. Her cousin Algernon Moncrieff has invented an invalid friend when he wishes to flee London for scapes in the country. Meanwhile Jack’s young ward, Cecily has romantic fantasies about the wicked Ernest. But will anyone end up with their intended against the will of the redoubtable Lady Bracknell?
Subtitled ‘A Trivial Comedy for Serious People,’ Wilde’s late Victorian farce has charmed audiences for 130 years. Incognita updates it to England of the roaring 20s.

Theatre Incognita
Ithaca’s ‘theatre without walls’ has been producing shows since 2009 in a variety of venues: a church sanctuary, an art studio, a vacant storefront on the Commons, a performance hall (CSMA), bars, lobbies, and more traditional theatre spaces.
As a community-based theatre company we provide a platform for local artists to play and grow. Diversity and multi-generational casts are important aspects of our work.
