Vanities- Neither director Joe Warik nor his capable cast compensate for the emptiness of the first two acts

Pittsburgh City Paper: South Park Theatre has chosen a really weak play, Jack Heifner's Vanities. Neither director Joe Warik nor his capable cast compensates for the emptiness of the first two acts. The title may refer to the shallowness of the three women whose lives are glimpsed over 20 years. Until the third act, such shallowness is reinforced by unimaginative writing, trivial dialogue and an absence of character development. If this is supposed to be a satire, you might expect something clever or funny. Forget that: Heifner didn't write enough to make it clear. Finally, things do become somewhat interesting, if only in contrast to the preceding dreariness.
