Arena Players Theater Presents JAKE'S WOMEN
By: A.A. Cristi Feb. 09, 2017
The Arena Players Repertory Theater will begin its 2017 Main Stage season with a Neil Simon comedy, Jake's Women, which opens Friday, March 10, at 8:00 p.m. in the Carriage House Theater at the Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum, 180 Little Neck Road, Centerport, N.Y.
Neil Simon, America's premier comic playwright, makes another hilarious foray into the world of modern relationships.
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 the actual women. These women include Jake's 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.
Friday-Saturday, March 10-11 and 17-18, at 8:00 p.m.
Sunday, March 12 and 19, at 3:00 p.m.
Tickets for Friday and Sunday shows are $20, and $18 for seniors (60 and older). Saturday tickets are $25 (no senior discount). For more information and to purchase tickets, call 516-293-0674 or 516-557-1207. Visit arenaplayers.org
