This week the much acclaimed and award-winning production of Billy Bishop Goes to War opens at the Belfry.

This new production is attracting a lot of attention. Ryan Beil (Billy Bishop) just won the Jessie Richardson Award for Best Actor, while Sarah Rodgers took home the Jessie for Best Director.

Zachary Gray, the musician in the show (and John Gray’s son), is no slouch either. His indie pop band, The Zolas, released their first CD, Tic Toc Tic, in November and it’s a bit of pure pop genius. Listen for yourself - http://www.myspace.com/thezolas

For those trivia fans out there – Ryan Beil saw Eric Peterson’s return performance as Billy Bishop in 1998 and decided in that moment that he wanted to be an actor. Zachary Gray himself, well, rumour has it, was conceived on tour in the early days of Billy Bishop Goes to War. He is a Billy Bishop baby.

Hope you can come out to see it.
