Jake's Women
Friday, Saturday and Sunday Through October 9

This wildly comic and moving play features Jake’s flashbacks about the women in his life – that are occasionally interrupted by the actual women! Jake's women include a revered first wife, Julie, who died years earlier in a tragic accident; his daughter, Molly, who is recalled as a child but is now a young woman; his boisterous and bossy sister, Karen; an opinionated analyst, Edith; his current wife, Maggie, who is contemplating her future with, or possibly without, Jake; and the newest arrival, Sheila, a woman who just may be part of Jake's future.
