what folks are saying... “ I have no hesitation in saying that what we witnessed was the launch of a new Canadian play, which is going to reach the hearts of people all across this country.” - Antony Holland, Gabriola Theatre Centre “I have never in my many years of hating, loving and snorting at live theatre, been so deeply moved by a play.” - Gary Prideaux, Gabriola Island “Your play touched my heart.” - Josh, Grade 4 - Gabriola Elementary “Thank you for a wonderful performance that truly got to the very core of what so many experienced in those days. You made me feel prouder to be a Canadian than I have been since taking Canadian Citizenship in 1979.” - Nanaimo theatre patron and veteran “I didn’t think it was possible to laugh and cry at the same time, but I saw many people doing just that after your play.” - Emily, age 10 - Gabriola Elementary “I found Jake’s Gift to be a very moving piece of theatre. My only regret is that my grandfather, a veteran, is not alive to experience what is an entirely heartfelt performance.” - Wells Theatre Patron It was a fabulous afternoon of theatre , and you managed to take a subject which has been addressed many times in the past, and make it fresh. - Steve Struthers, Nanaimo
