“Vanities” is a comedy-Drama following the lives of three girls from Texas. The play follows them from being High school Cheerleaders in the early 1960s, to College Sorority girls in 1968, and finally as women in their late twenties facing life in the real world in 1974.
The play is by Jack Heifner, the playwright in residence at Stephen F. Austin University. It had a five year off Broadway run totaling 1,785 performances, as well as earning Heifner a 1976 Drama Desk Award nomination for Outstanding New Play.
The play is presented with a minimalistic set, to better focus on the themes and characters. It is truly a character driven play.
The roles are being played by three young actresses from the Calhoun High School theatre department. This is a play that will truly allow them to stretch and grow as actresses.
The play is not recommended for young children due to some mature language and themes.
The play will run Oct 18, 19, 20, and 25, 26, 27. All Friday and Saturday performances are at 8:00 PM, Sunday performances are at 2:00 p.m.
