An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde

Dennis is excited to make his acting debut with the Northeast Theatre Ensemble in their site specific and immersive production of An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde, playing the witty Lord Goring.  Directed by Dr. Krysta Dennis, the production runs three weekends, Thursdays through Sundays, from April 11-28. Thursday through Saturday performances take place at 7:30 pm; Sunday shows are at 3 pm. Performances are inside the historic Ten Broeck Mansion in Albany, built in the 1790s.

Guests will arrive for Sir Robert Chiltern's evening party, be handed champagne and then move from room to room as the play progresses.

Seating and tickets are limited due to the nature of the performance venue, so purchasing tickets in advance is required. Tickets can be purchased online here.

According to Oscar Wilde, "Sooner or later, we shall all have to pay for what we do." But, he adds,  "No one should be entirely judged by their past."

If a young man makes a mistake early on in his political career, should he be held accountable for it twenty years later? Wilde tackles this question with his trademark wit and style in "An Ideal Husband." NorthEast Theatre Ensemble will be bringing this delightful 1893 play to life in an immersive site-specific performance at Ten Broeck Mansion in Albany. This environmental production will take place in various spaces throughout the mansion, so come prepared to move around and enjoy cocktails, a party at the Chilterns' house, and tea with some formidable (even ruthless) women.

Ten Broeck Mansion is located at 9 Ten Broeck Place in Albany. Parking is available in the mansion's lot. The performance space is ADA accessible, but please notify us in advance so we can make sure you are properly accommodated.
