- Katie Malloch, CBC Radio, Jazz Beat

Having recently completed two tours of Europe, Sienna dropped in last summer and almost blew the roof off the Demmitt Hall… she returns to The Borderline Culture Series with a full band to finish the job.

Jake's Gift

"If I could give this play six stars, I would. Jake's Gift is one of the most heart-wrenching, emotional and beautifully acted pieces of theatre I've ever seen".
- Saskatoon Star Phoenix

Jake's Gift is a deeply moving play about a young French girl and a Canadian war veteran who visit Juno Beach for the 60th anniversary of D Day. They strike up an unlikely friendship and both learn about the losses and gains of war. A late addition to the Edmonton Fringe Festival, this play was not even in the program and yet deservedly had a nearly full house on opening night. Julia Mackey, who wrote and stars in the play, is an eminently watchable actor and her transformations between characters are stunning and nuanced, right down to the perfectly angled arthritic fingers of Jake. This is one to watch.
