Live Stage Performance - Jake's Women - Jan 8, 2025 - 7:30PM (Doors open at 6:30pm) Tickets - $25. 4861 White Lake Rd, Clarkston, MI 48346
In this hilarious live stage performance - 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. 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.
By attending this fundraiser, you'll not only enjoy a fantastic performance in an intimate and festive setting, but you'll also be supporting the arts in our community. Your contribution will help us continue to bring all facets of the arts to Clarkston.
Doors open at 6:30pm! Come early and enjoy some wine with friends and jump in on the 50/50 raffle!
Mark your calendars and don't miss out on this enchanting evening. Tickets are very limited, so reserve early through Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1100371784629?aff=oddtdtcreator
