STEPPING OUT

‘Vanities’

Will their bond stand the test of time? Find out how it all unfolds in Jack Heifner’s ‘Vanities,’ the latest production from Adelphi University’s Department of Theatre. This bittersweet comedy is an astute, snapshot-sharp chronicle of the lives of three Texas women and how their friendship evolves. The story begins as Joanne, Kathy and Mary are high school cheerleaders in 1963. 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 and their friendship is strained and ambiguous. Their attempts at honest conversation only show they can no longer afford to have very much in common. The show is directed by Emily Shain with assistant direction by Lauren Buscemi.
