Epically Earnest
Description
In this delightfully romantic LGBTQ+ comedy-of-errors inspired by Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest, a high school senior works up the courage to ask her long-time crush to prom all while deciding if she should look for her bio family.
Juggling a top-secret promposal, a surprise DNA test, and the girl of her dreams, what could possibly go wrong?
- A Sweet F/F Romance: Janey has been crushing on the impossibly cool Gwen for years. Now she's finally making her move?by planning a flash-mob promposal in Central Park.

- Witty Banter: With rapid-fire dialogue, hilarious schemes from a chaotic best friend, and Oscar Wilde-inspired shenanigans, this retelling is both clever and charming.
- A Coming-of-Age Story: A heartfelt and funny journey about figuring out who you are, who you love, and what family really means.
