Jake’s Gift sees veteran, child at Juno Beach

River Run Centre will present Jake’s Gift on Oct 25 at 8pm in the Co-operators Hall.

Written and performed by Vancouver’s Julia Mackey, the play has been the toast of the­atre festivals from coast to coast.

The play is a comedy-drama about a cantankerous WWII veteran who reluctantly returns to Juno Beach for the 60th anniversary of 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.

Jake’s Gift tickets are on sale now through the River Run Centre box office, and range from $23 to $25.

All tickets may be pur­chased online at www.­river­run.ca, by phone at 519-763-3000 or at the box office in Guelph.
