Emerson Stage: ‘Old Jake’s Skirts’

Old Jake is a lonely pumpkin farmer, until he and his dog find an old trunk filled with calico skirts beside the road. They take the trunk home and with every skirt—and the imaginative ways he uses them—color begins to slowly creep back into Jake’s world.

Old Jake’s Skirts is Emerson Stage’s annual Theatre for Young Audiences production. Adapted by José Cruz González from the book by C. Anne Scott. Directed by Joshua Streeter.
