“Jake’s Gift is the most theatrically pure show I have ever seen. Julia Mackey delivers a stunning performance.” - Katie Nicholson, CBC Winnipeg

Multi-award winning play, Jake's Gift, is about a Canadian WW2 veteran who reluctantly returns to Normandy, France, for the 60th anniversary of the D-Day landings. While revisiting the shores of Juno Beach, Jake encounters Isabelle, a precocious 10-year-old from the local village whose inquisitive nature and charm challenge the old soldier to confront some long-ignored ghosts – most notably, the wartime death of his eldest brother, Chester, a once promising young musician. At its heart, Jake’s Gift is about the legacy of remembrance and personalizes the story behind one soldier’s grave.

Buttons will be sold at the performance with 100% of the profits donated to our local Legion's Poppy Trust Fund.
