SUMMARY:Sawney's Legacy
DESCRIPTION:Sawney’s Legacy tells the story of James Anderson\, the first published poet of note in British Columbia. \nThis play is written and performed by Brendan Bailey with Direction by Dirk Van Stralen. It was developed in part through The Sunset Theatre’s annual Exploration Series\, and will be presented once a month this summer on June 30th\, July 14th and August 25th. \nAbout the Poet: James Anderson was the first published poet of note in British Columbia. His Sawney’s Letters and Cariboo Rhymes has been of tremendous historical relevance and is quoted regularly in publications regarding the Cariboo Gold Rush. Born in 1835\, raised and educated in Scotland at the prestigious Dollar Academy\, and one of fifteen children\, he became lord for the Anderson family estate. While resident along Williams Creek during the Cariboo Gold Rush\, he was involved as an owner\, investor\, and labourer in a number of mining pursuits\, but was also heavily involved in many community and social endeavours and was notably respected and well-liked\, particularly for his legal aptitude\, commentative verse\, and singing voice. \nCONTENT WARNING: Sawney’s Legacy is a period piece and explores privileged views of the nineteenth century Caucasian society\, as well as addressing adult themes around family trauma and bias. \nSawney’s Legacy runs approximately 60 minutes in length. \nPlaywright/Researcher/Performer: Brendan Bailey \nProduction Manager/Stage Manager/Lighting Design: Emily Lindstrom \nDirector and Poster Design: Dirk Van Stralen \nResearch and Historical Consultant: Richard Thomas Wright \nIndigenous Consultants: Cheryl Chapman and Mike Retasket \nChinese Consultant: Dr. Ying-Ying Chen \nTheology Consultants: David and Michelle Lieffertz \nCariboo Lodge #4 Consultant: Neil Vant \nNoble Players Logo (design\, image\, and intellectual property): Caitlin Bailey \nCover and Poster Image: Emily Lindstrom \nCostume Advisors and Wardrobe Support: Michelle Lieffertz and Patti Bailey \nHISTORICAL NOTES: The historic dates and events are (or are as close of an educated assumption to) documented\, sourced\, and cited fact. In writing this play\, the playwright has worked within the given historical circumstances and drawn from historic publications to breathe life to fact. \nNoble Players Theatrics is a Canadian production company focused on sharing stories connected to our historic gold rushes. Noble refers to the properties of gold which we feel serve as an effective metaphor for artistic integrity and entertainment value. \nContact: nobleplayerstheatrics@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Jake's Gift
DESCRIPTION:Jake’s Gift returns to the Sunset Theatre stage this summer on Saturday\, July 15th and Friday\, September 8th. This multi-award winning play is written and performed by Julia Mackey and Directed by Dirk Van Stralen. It was one of three plays to come out of our inaugural Exploration Series in 2006. \nSynopsis: \nJake’s Gift is a surprisingly funny drama about a Canadian WW2 veteran’s reluctant return to Normandy for the 60th Anniversary of D-Day. \nWhile 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. \nAt its heart\, Jake’s Gift is about the legacy of remembrance and makes personal the story behind one soldier’s grave. \nWritten & Performed by Julia Mackey \nDirected by Dirk Van Stralen \nwww.jakesgift.com \nThe show is 1 Act and runs 65 minutes with no intermission. \nTickets are $20 for Adults\, $18 for Sunset Theatre Members and $10 for Teens and Kids. The play is recommended for Ages 10 +
