Brandon Burk directs Oscar Wilde’s comedy of manners “The Importance of Being Earnest” for Off-Strip Productions at the Onyx Theatre with as light a touch as the delicate crustless cucumber sandwiches that Algernon Moncrieff scarfs down while awaiting his guests in the opening scene.

Singer Jane Monheit, who’s becoming a regular at The Smith Center’s intimate Cabaret Jazz, returns this weekend for an exploration of the “Great American Songbook,” with pianist Michael Kanan as her “telepathic” partner in song.
That peerless wit, Oscar Wilde, described his play “The Importance of Being Earnest” as “a trivial comedy for serious people.” And that’s just one of this weekend’s offerings.

“The Importance of Being Earnest” is scheduled at 8 p.m. May 23, 24, 29-31 and June 5-7 and at 2 p.m. June 1 and 8 at the Onyx Theatre.

The romantic theme for Saturday’s Pops Concert was “Paris, Je T’Aime” (“Paris, I love you”) and orchestra, conductor and soloists played it to the hilt.
“Once” may be a Tony-winning musical, but it’s far from the traditional flashy, splashy Broadway musical.
A little jazz, maybe a play or a dance performance — plenty to do this weekend if you’re into the arts.
The show must go on. But not too long. After all, this weekend’s “A Tribute to the Tony Awards,” which kicks off Super Summer Theatre’s 39th season at Spring Mountain Ranch State Park, only has 90 minutes to cover more than 60 years of Broadway history.
