The Belfry Theatre invites audiences to experience Vanities by Jack Heifner, a poignant and humorous exploration of friendship, ambition, and growing up. Directed by Jen Otterman, the production runs March 6 to 15 at The Cat, 254 Veterans Way, Carmel.
Set in 1963, 1968, and 1974, Vanities follows Joanne, Kathy, and Mary from vivacious Texas high school cheerleaders to a revealing reunion years later in New York. As their lives unfold, the play captures the shifting dynamics of lifelong friendship and the choices that shape who we become.
“Vanities will resonate with audiences because it feels deeply personal,” said Ka’Lena Cuevas, who plays the role of Kathy and is also the producer for the show. “It reminds us how our friendships evolve as we grow, and how time can both strengthen and challenge those bonds.”
Performances are scheduled for 8 p.m. on March 6 and 13, and 2 p.m. on March 7, 8, 14, and 15. All performances take place at The Cat. Tickets are $20 for adults and youth, and $15 for seniors (aged 64 and over) and are available at TheBelfryTheatre.com.
