Hies ' 'mirrors 3 stages o
f friendship
By Charles Lieurance
Senior Reporter
The Nebraska Director's Theatre,
without a doubt the most adventurous
theatre in Lincoln, will perform the
play "Vanities" Thursday through Sat
urday and again on March 21.
"Vanities" is a play by Jack Heifner,
who was a student at Southern Metho
dist University when he wrote the play
in 19G8. The play is about three women
whose lives are traced from high school
to adult maturity. The story begins in
1963 when Joanne Kathy and Mary are
energetic, beautiful cheerleaders in
high school. The play charts their
friendship, their competition, their
conflicts with each other and the world
beyond their small circle.
From high school Heifner shoots his
characters ahead five years, to their
college sorority house. At this time the
characters are facing an uncertain
future with optimism and a strong
sense of humor. The audience rejoins
Joanne, Mary and Kathy again in 1974,
when, for a short time, they are
reunited. Though much time has
passed, their friendship is rekindled
with effort.
Jack Parkhurst, who directs the
production at NCT, says the play's
themes are evident in its title.
"The title tells what the play is,"
Parkhurst said.
"It discusses the fact that all of us
are vain and where does it really get
us?"
The play was difficult to produce,
according to Parkhurst, who refers to
the show as "tough" because the
actresses had to progress through three

very different stages of life, from high
school students to college seniors to
28-year-olds.
"The play also takes us through
some very dynamic times for people
growing up in that time period," says
Parkhurst. "They went through Vietnam
and you can see the characters change
because of that period."
Although some of the themes and
issues raised in the play have serious
connotations, the play is basically a
comedy, dealing with human relations
using a sharp contemporary wit. Park
hurst has already applied his talents to
lighter comedic fare such as "The
Music Man" perfomed at Omaha's
Orpheum Theatre and will also direct
"Little Shop of Horrors" for the
Nebraska Repertory Theatre this sum
mer. Parkhurst tells the story of how
Heifner returned to SMU 10 years after
he wrote the play and met the three
women he based his characters on.
Heifner was amazed to find that the
women turned out just as he had
predicted in the final segment of the
play.
"Vanities" is a cheerful study of
vanity's effect on comraderie, according
to Parkhurst.
The part of Kathy will be played by
Melissa Schawl, the part of Joanne by
Jill Pinkelman and the part of Mary by
Susan Oltmanns. All three are students
at UNL.
"Vanities" will be staged at 8 p.m. in
the Nebraska Director's Theatre in the
basement of St. Marks' on Campus
Episcopal church, 1309 R. St.
Admission to the play is $4 for the
public and $3 for students and senior
citizens. Reservations are available by
calling 472-1610.
