Gulfshore Playhouse has announced the cast and creative team of The Importance of Being Earnest, helmed by Kristen Coury, CEO & Producing Artistic Director. Performances begin March 1, 2026. Opening night is set for March 5 with the closing on April 4.
“This is the first production in Gulfshore Playhouse history that we are producing for the second time,” Said Coury. “I directed our production in 2013 at the Norris Center and am excited to reprise my role as director on our luxuriously large Moran Mainstage.
