We are home after an incredible 6 week tour of Jake’s Gift that took us across the prairies and back to BC before wrapping up at the Quesnel Legion on Saturday, November 23rd. It was an amazing whirlwind tour, and we are so grateful to all of the incredibly generous Presenters that hosted us. We are very thankful too to all the people who came out to see the show.
We had a surprising number of patrons who came back for their 2nd or 3rd time because they wanted to share Jake’s Gift with other family and friends. That warms our hearts so much, and we are very moved that people would want to share our little play with their loved ones. Isn’t that what life is all about? Sharing moments together and stories that reflect our common bond.
Thank you all for continuing to support us all these years in. We are grateful every day for the opportunity to share Jake’s Gift in so many communities across Canada as well as in Normandy this year. That was an incredibly moving experience to be back on Juno Beach for the 75th anniversary of D-Day, and to get the opportunity to meet and thank more WW2 veterans, and to share Jake’s Gift with some of them and the local French communities across Normandy. Merci!
We will update our website and touring schedule as soon as dates are confirmed. We will continue to work on our 2020 Tour plans this December and into the New Year. If you would be interested in having us tour to your community in 2020, email us anytime at jakesgift@gmail.com.
We wish you all a very peaceful and restful winter.
Cheers,
Julia & Dirk
