Jakes Gift

The highly acclaimed one-woman play "Jakes Gift " by Julia Mackey. Jake's Gift is a powerful comedy-drama about a cantankerous WW11 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.

MTC

The popular Manitoba Theatre Center will bring their production of "Tempting Providence", by Robert Chafe to our series this year.

Tempting Providence is a simple and simply elegant tale that recounts the true story of a woman who left her home in England for Newfoundland's remote Great Northern Peninsula, to serve a community in great need. It explores the heart of a hero who struggles with isolation and loneliness, as much as she struggles against the odds to achieve medical miracles. And ultimately, it celebrates the life of a courageous woman who became known as the Florence Nightingale of the North, and a true Newfoundland legend.
