EDINBURGH 2021: BWW Review: MARRYING JAKE GYLLENHAAL, Online @ The Space
Melissa Center is... Marrying Jake Gyllenhaal. No really – she is! What starts out as her Jewish mom's pesky fantasy (and mild-to-moderate...

There will be Jake. (And, in some way shape or form, Melissa Center will do them all).
