| Description |
TheatreOne presents Jakes Gift; a powerful comedy-drama about a cantankerous WWII veteran who reluctantly returns to Juno Beach for the 60th Anniversary D-Day. While there, he meets Isabelle, a precocious 10-year-old from the local village, whose inquisitive nature and charm challenge the old veteran to confront some long ignored ghosts.
Written and performed by Canadian Playwright Julia Mackey, Jake’s Gift has won numerous awards including Best Solo Show, Best Drama, and Best Female Performer at the Victoria Fringe Festival in 2008 and the Best of the Fest at the 2008 Edmonton Fringe Festival.
Jakes’ Gift will be presented at The Bailey Studio. Tickets to the Wednesday, March 11 Preview night are $15 (groups of 10 or more $12) and tickets for the Thursday and Friday performances are $18 (groups of 10 or more $15). Tickets are available directly from TheatreOne by phone, 250.754.7587 or online at www.theatreone.org. |
