Students have roles in show
MIDLAND, Beaver County — Oscar Wilde’s comedy “An Ideal Husband” opens the 2015-16 season at Lincoln Park Performing Arts Center and features Butler County students.
The show runs Friday through Sunday and Oct. 16 to 18. Curtain is at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and at 2 p.m. Sundays in the Black Box Theater, 1 Lincoln Park.
Period costumes and elaborate set design lend to the setting in 1890 London, England. Set over a 24-hour timespan, “An Ideal Husband” opens at a swanky dinner party and follows a cast of characters who manipulate others for their own means.
Wilde dramatizes a clash in ethical and philosophical value systems, posing the figure of the dandy against a set of more respectable, “ideal” characters.
The cast includes Emily Appel and Jackie Appel, both of Slippery Rock; Justin Atta, Abby Gumpper and Jake Warren, all of Cranberry Township; and Logan Rowland of Wexford.
