Pay What You Can Staged Reading in Takoma Park

Lumina Studio Theatre presents a fall double bill of classic comedies in a staged-reading format. The program pairs Oscar Wilde’s *The Importance of Being Earnest*, celebrated for its sharp wit and absurd situations, with Terence Rattigan’s *Curtain Up!*, a comic look at the eccentric personalities and unpredictable world of theatre.

The readings follow Lumina’s earlier productions of *Pericles* and *The Alchemist*, offering an evening or afternoon of theatrical silliness and lighthearted entertainment.
