WELCOME
Welcome to Desert Stages Theatre, and thank you for joining us at this
performance of Neil Simon's JAKE'S WOMEN!

We applaud Janis Webb, JP Clemente, Walt Pedano, and the entire cast
and production team of this show for their "stick-to-itiveness" in bringing
this show to the Actor's Cafe stage. Since rehearsals for JAKE'S WOMEN
originally began in 2019, members of the original cast and crew and sub-
sequent iterations have overcome a multitude of obstacles, including a
pandemic, other health challenges, and scheduling conflicts. This team
has believed in and modeled the old theatre adage "The show must go
on" for more than two years, and we are very grateful. Victory is repre-
sented here on this stage today/tonight.

DST still has COVID-19 safety protocols in place to keep you, our ac-
tors, and our staff safe, especially during the recent surge in the number
of cases. Please wear your mask the entire time you are in the theatre.
If you wish to meet with your friends or castmembers after the show,
please arrange to do so in the food court area of the mall, so the lobby
doesn't get congested. There will be no gathering inside the DST lobby.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation!

Thank you again for your support of live theatre and for your attendance
at this production. Whether you are seeing your 100th show or your first
at DST, you are a valued member of the Desert Stages Theatre commu-
nity, and we appreciate you more than you could ever know!

DIRECTOR'S LETTER
On Friday, March 13, 2020, we opened Jake’s Women to a small
but mighty audience, and on Sunday March 15, we closed. 2020
had other plans for us, actors and audience alike. And now, al-
most 2 years later, we proudly bring you Jake’s Women, round two!
Four of the original eight cast members have returned (including
the amazingly talented Walt Pedano) and we have added four new
members. What a journey this has been!

It is my hope that you, dear audience members, will enjoy Mr. Si-
mon’s autobiographical play that is full of humor, hope and new be-
ginnings … just like 2022 is! Thank you for supporting live theater!
