SUMMARY:Inspecting Carol
DESCRIPTION:The Matthews Community Theater proudly presents Inspecting Carol by Daniel J. Sullivan\, a backstage holiday comedy that spoofs both A Christmas Carol and the frantic world of community theater. The play follows a struggling theatre troupe as they prepare for their annual production of Dickens’ classic. Everything goes wrong: actors forget lines\, the set collapses\, egos clash\, and rehearsals spiral out of control. When the troupe mistakes a clueless wannabe actor for a feared National Endowment for the Arts inspector\, panic sets in\, and desperate attempts to impress lead to even more ridiculous disasters. \nFull of slapstick\, satire\, and seasonal spirit\, Inspecting Carol is a joyful romp that celebrates the magic (and madness) of live theater. With clever wordplay\, physical comedy\, and a cast of eccentric characters\, this hilarious farce is perfect for anyone who enjoys laughter\, theatrical hijinks\, and the unpredictable charm of community theater. \nPerformances: December 12th-14th\, 16th\, & 19th-21stFridays & Saturdays • 7:00 pmSundays • 2:00 pm | Tuesday • 7:00 pm \nDirected by Max G.

SUMMARY:The Importance of Being Earnest
DESCRIPTION:Oscar Wilde wrote the funniest play in the English language\, and The Importance of Being Earnest is coming to The Matthews with crisp pacing\, a stylish look\, and laughs that land fast. This production keeps Wilde’s razor-sharp dialogue front and center\, with active physical comedy\, quick turns\, and a cast built for speed and chemistry. Expect mistaken identities\, secret engagements\, and the kind of wit you quote on the way home. If you want a “name” comedy that’s pure fun and easy to bring friends to\, this is the one. \nIt’s a witty\, fast-paced night out with a lightly modern aesthetic (not stuffy\, not overly precious) that keeps the focus on language\, characters\, and momentum. Show dates are May 14–17 at 7:00 PM\, including a double-header matinee and evening on May 16. Reserved seating. Tickets are $25 adult / $15 student. Come ready for big laughs\, sharp banter\, and a high-energy final scene that goes delightfully off the rails. \nThe Matthews has been bringing live theater to Spearfish for over 120 years\, and this production continues that tradition with a local cast and a creative team that knows how to fill a stage. Classic work\, made fresh\, right here downtown.\nSeats are limited by design\, and this run moves fast. Grab your tickets now\, bring a theatre buddy\, and make it a night out—Wilde’s wit hits even harder live. \nPerformances: May 14\, 15\, 16\, & 17Thursday – Friday • 7:00 pm \nSaturday • 12:00pm & 7:00pm \nSunday • 12:00 pm \nDirected by Melita Quinonez \n$25 Adults – $15 Students
