“JAKES WOMAN” AT THEATRE 29 A BIG HIT

The first show of the Theatre 29 2012 season is running weekends through February 11 at the Morongo Basin premiere live theater venue. Reporter Mike Lipsitz tells you how to get tickets this weekend for the comedy hit, “Jake’s Women”…
When the curtain came down on the opening night of Neil Simon’s “Jake’s Women” at Theatre 29, Director Butch Pelfrey knew he had a hit. “Jake’s Women” is a comedy about a novelist more successful at fiction than real life. He faces a marital crisis by daydreaming of the women in his life. His wildly comic and sometimes moving flashbacks are interrupted by visitations from real women. Pelfrey, directing his seventh show at Theatre 29 speaks highly of the cast which stars K.W. Heckart, as Jake, principals Wendy Costello, as Jake’s sister, Janet Peercy as Jake’s wife, and Cheryl Gillon, as the other woman. Rounding out the cast is Rebekah Douglas, Jeanne Rodick, Kara Dailey and Kayleigh Coughlin. “Jake’s Women” plays through February 11, with Friday and Saturday night performances at 7 p.m., a Thursday night show January 26, and a Sunday matinee February 5. Ticket prices are $8 to $12, available by calling 760-361-4151 or theatre29.org. Theatre 29 is at Sullivan and Adobe roads in Twentynine Palms.
