“We originally had slotted THE BOYS FROM SYRACUSE as our Spring show,” says Melissa Barcomb-Doyle, president of Tred Avon Players. “However, due to unforeseen circumstances, we replaced it with VANITIES, a touching and humorous journey of friendship seen through the eyes of three women. We are excited to bring this highly successful Off-Broadway show to the Shore.”
