Pierre Players Community Theatre will hold open auditions for "Jake's Women," a dramatic comedy by Neil Simon, on Monday, March 6, 2023, 7 p.m. at the Grand Opera House. There are parts for one male and seven females (one character is a 12-year-old girl).
Jake, a novelist who is more successful with fiction than with life, faces a marital crisis by daydreaming about the women in his life. The wildly comic and sometimes moving flashbacks played in his mind are interrupted by visitations from actual females. Jake's women include a revered first wife who was killed years earlier in an accident, his daughter who is recalled as a child but is now a young woman, his boisterous and bossy sister, an opinionated analyst, his current wife who is leaving Jake for another man, and a prospective third wife.
Show dates for "Jake's Women" are April 28-30 and May 4-6, 2023. Learn more about the characters. For more information contact Director Scott Lee. Or visit pierreplayers.com.
