🎭 Stirling Players is thrilled to announce AUDITIONS for our September 2026 production of Jake’s Women, Neil Simon’s witty, heartfelt comedy about love, memory, and the women who shape one man’s life.

Directed by Naomi Capon, this sharp, funny, and deeply touching play is a wonderful showcase for actors of all ages, blending sparkling comedy with genuine emotional warmth. ❤️

The Central Role – Jake
Jake is a successful novelist in his mid-40s to 60s — a man far more at ease creating fictional worlds than dealing with the complexities of real relationships. This is a substantial, demanding leading role that requires strong comedic timing, emotional depth, vulnerability, charm and the ability to carry much of the show.

Female Roles
Seven terrific female roles spanning a range of ages. These characters offer a rich mix of comedic flair, dramatic moments, and memorable scene work - perfect for showcasing versatility and talent. 👏

Audition Date:
Sunday 14 June 2026 (next weekend!) 📅

Spots are filling fast — don’t miss out! ⏰ Complete the audition form and download the full audition pack here:
