Jake’s Gift is a powerful and surprisingly funny drama about a Canadian World War II veteran who reluctantly returns to Normandy, France, for the 60th Anniversary of the D-Day invasion. While revisiting the beach he landed on sixty years earlier, Jake encounters Isabelle, a precocious 10-year-old from the local village whose 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.
In 2007* and 2008 the production received four awards at The Since 2007, Jake’s Gift has gone on to play at festivals and theatres across the country.

Featuring Powell River's own Andy Rice on keyboards and vocals, No Island delivers a new brand of rock that blurs the lines between genres and generations. With well-crafted original songs, two contrasting lead vocalists, and a unique sound complemented by keyboards and saxophone, No Island’s approach to rock is catchy, powerful, and sophisticated all at once.
Drawing from inspirations including Supertramp, Queen, Fleetwood Mac, and Billy Joel, No Island has taken their love of innovative classic rock and channeled it in their own new direction. Further influenced by contemporary indie rock and years of post-secondary music studies, No Island has been a fixture on the Vancouver music scene since 2009. The band has always crafted their sound around two guiding principles: it must connect with and entertain listeners while at the same time being rich and fulfilling on an artistic and creative level.
