Adelphi Department of Theatre Presents Comedy Vanities at Adelphi PAC
Garden City, NY (04/13/2023) — Students of Adelphi University's Department of Theatre will present the hilarious comedy Vanities by Jack Heifner at the Adelphi's Performing Arts Center (PAC) this May. The seven performances will take place from Tuesday, May 2 through Sunday, May 7. The show is directed by Emily Shain and assistant directed by Lauren Buscemi.
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.
Performances of Vanities will take place at the Black Box Theatre at Adelphi's PAC at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 2; Thursday, May 4; Friday, May 5; and Saturday, May 6. An additional evening show will occur on Wednesday, May 3, at 6:30 p.m. and there will also be matinees at 2 p.m. on both Saturday, May 6, and Sunday, May 7.
Tickets are $25, with discounts available to seniors, students, Adelphi alumni and employees. For more information, call Lucia and Steven N. Fischer Box Office at 516-877-4000 or email boxoffice@adelphi.edu. The box office is open Wednesday through Friday from Noon to 5 p.m. and is also open two hours before all ticketed performances. Ticket sales and additional information are available online.
