A beloved multi-award-winning Canadian play returns to Lunchbox.

2004 & 1944. On the shores of Juno Beach, a precocious 10-year-old helps a WWII veteran confront ghosts from his past.

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. Jake’s Gift is a multi-award-winning Canadian play about a World War II veteran’s reluctant return to Normandy, France, for the 60th anniversary of the D-Day landings. At its heart, this play is about the legacy of remembrance and makes personal the story behind one soldier’s grave.

All Veterans and active members of the Canadian Military are welcome to attend for free. If booking your ticket online, use the code MILITARY.
