The production company was formed 18 months ago by best friends and theatre enthusiasts Lou Vella, Fiona Jowett and Greg Oehm.
The Importance of Being Earnest is an outrageously witty and implausibly farcical comedy about marriage and manners.
Jack Worthing, known as Earnest in the city, struggles to keep his two lives separate.
When Gwendolen and Algy unexpectedly visit Jack's country home, a romp of bewildered suitors, secret rendezvous and witty wordplay ensues.
The Importance of Being Earnest opens tonight with a charity gala event after the show where the cast remain in costume.
"The cast are absolutely amazing," Fiona said.
The play will appeal to fans of all ages with the cast ranging from 16 to 70.
"In a cast of nine people it's an amazing spread and is genuinely for everyone," Fiona said.
Greg agreed and said the costumes and set were fantastic as well.
"We can guarantee a complete, quality theatre experience," he said.
"It's a great play and I think we are doing our best to give one of the greatest plays ever written real justice."
The older actors have more than 40 years of experience and Greg said they'd passed on a wealth of knowledge to the younger cast members.
"The growth in the cast from script readings to stage has been huge," he said.
"They're at a professional standard now."
