Vanities

A comedy by Jack Heifner

Directed by Gary Payne

Vanities is a laugh-out-loud comedy about the growth of a friendship among three small town Texas women coming of age in the 1960s and '70s. It's an astute, snapshot-sharp chronicle look at their lives with witty dialogue that keeps the audience laughing throughout the production. In 1963, Joanne, Kathy and Mary are aggressively vivacious cheerleaders. Five years later in their college sorority house, they are confronting their futures with nervous jauntiness. In 1974, they reunite briefly in New York. Their lives have diverged, secrets are revealed and old-time banter rings false.
