SMU students to perform ‘Vanities’ in London

Saint Mary’s University theatre majors will stage the bittersweet comedy “Vanities,” a show that chronicles the lives, loves, disappointments and dreams of three best friends, in London this fall.

The plot revolves around three women as they mature during tumultuous times in American history — the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the Vietnam War, and the women’s movement. Although written in the ’70s, “Vanities” focuses on the timeless question all women ask themselves, “Can we have it all?” The play is directed by Dr. Gary Diomandes.

Qualified SMU theatre majors are studying in London this semester through the Stefannié Valéncia Kierlin Theatre in London Program.
