Written by John MacLachlan Gray in collaboration with the actor Eric Peterson, Billy Bishop Goes to War recreates the role of WWI fighter pilot, William Avery Bishop. Dean Hollin returns playing Billy (and 17 other characters) in one of Canada’s most famous and widely-produced musicals. Following Billy’s humble beginnings in Owen Sound to fame and glory as this country’s top-scoring pilot of the First World War, this tour-de-force performance, presented in the simplicity of its original form, is not to be missed! “Hamilton-born actor-singer Dean Hollin…grew up playing plenty of leads in community theatre. He was terrific in everything he tackled …. Boyish, cute and personable, Hollin had the right stuff. He still does.” Gary Smith; The Spec. Musical accompaniment: Michael Mulrooney.
