Auditions for the Neil Simon comedy, Jake's Women, will be held at 7pm on December 11 and at 1pm on December 13th at The Hearth, 1915 N Swan. Jake's Women is a funny introspective play about a writer who is struggling to understand the six women in his life.
Windy Road Productions, LLC, will be casting 8 characters for performances March 13-22, 2026 at the El Sol Theater and invites professional and nonprofessional actors to audition.
In this play, the male lead, Jake (45–65), is entangled with six women: Maggie (35–55), his estranged wife; Julie (21–35), his beloved first wife who died 10 years ago; his loving daughter, Molly at two ages (12 and 21); his clueless current girlfriend, Sheila (30–55); his brutally honest therapist, Edith (40–75); and his sharp-witted sister, Karen (40–60).
Jake talks with all of these women in his imagination and in real life as he tries to sort out his relationship troubles. The play becomes a witty comedy of errors as the real and imagined women interrupt each other and challenge Jake.
Jake's Women will mark the debut of a new theater company in Silver City: Windy Road Productions, LLC, founded and headed by Phyllis McQuaide, a veteran director and actor, who will also be directing the play. Phyllis is well-known in the Silver City area for Marjorie Prime, Glass Menagerie, and Steel Magnolias.
A copy of the play script will be available at the Silver City Public Library. For more information, contact Phyllis McQuaide at 575 654-0196
