The show is 1 Act and runs 65 minutes with no intermission.

Tickets are $20 or Pay What You Can at the Door.

The play is recommended for Ages 10 +

Synopsis:

Jake’s Gift is a multi-award winning play about a Canadian WW2 veteran’s reluctant return to Juno Beach for the 60th Anniversary of D-Day.

While revisiting the shores of Juno beach, Jake encounters Isabelle, a precocious 10-year-old from the local village. Isabelle’s inquisitive nature and charm challenge the old soldier to confront some long-ignored ghosts – most notably the war-time death of his eldest brother, Chester, a once promising young musician.

At its heart, Jake’s Gift is about the legacy of remembrance and makes personal the story behind one soldier’s grave.

Written & Performed by Julia Mackey

Directed by Dirk Van Stralen
