The Slocum House Theatre Company continues its 2007 Season with Jack Heifner’s bittersweet comedy, Vanities. Opening Friday, April 20th for a four week run, Vanities will be directed by Marc Steele. Vanities is an astute, snapshot-sharp chronicle of the lives of three regional, small town girls. 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 — their friendship, which once thrived on assumption as well-coordinated as sweater sets, is strained and ambiguous. Old-time banter rings false. Their attempts at honest conversation only show they can no longer afford to have very much in common. Vanities ran for five years in New York and became one of the longest running plays in off Broadway history; a musical version of the production premiered in June of 2006 at TheatreWorks in San Francisco, CA. Jack Heifner is the author of over 25 plays, 17 in publication. He is also the author of Comfort and Joy; Natural Disasters; Heartbreak; Bargains; Running on Empty; Jumping for Joy; Boy's Play; Home Fires; The Lemon Cookie; Patio / Porches; and other plays produced in New York, Los Angeles and theatres around the country. Tickets for The Slocum House Theatre’s production of Vanities, ranging from $8 to $10, can be reserved or purchased via credit card by calling 360/696-2427 or by emailing reservations@slocumhouse.com.
