Blyth Festival recognizes Canadian Armed Forces
In recognition of those
who serve their country,
Blyth Festival is offering
complimentary tickets to
the evening performance
of Billy Bishop Goes to
War on Tuesday, July 22
for members of the Cana-
dian Armed Forces (cur-
rent or retired). To reserve
your two free tickets sim-
ply call the Blyth Festival
Box Office at 519.523.9300,
toll free 1.877.862.5984.
As Billy Bishop Goes to
War is sponsored by the
Royal Canadian Legion
Branch 420 & Ladies Aux-
iliary to Branch 420, mem-
bers of any branch of the
Royal Canadian Legion
may purchase $20 tickets
to any performance of this
World War One story.
In this brand new
"made in Blyth" produc-
tion, director Janet Amos
has created a humorous
and heartfelt show that
brings Bishop's heroic
exploits to life. Robert
Reid of the Kitchener -
Waterloo Record calls it a
"soaring" production.
The incomparable J.D.
Nicholsen "delivers a
superb performance"
(K -W Record) as the war
hero, and almost 20 other
characters Bishop
encounters in his adven-
tures; from a Brigade
Commander to Lady St.
Helier from Sir Hugh Cecil
to the Lovely Helene,
Nicholsen changes char-
acter seamlessly. Marek
Norman acts as Narrator
and Piano Player. His on
stage chemistry with
Nicholsen is pure magic.
Born in Owen Sound,
the second of three chil-
dren, Air Marshal William
Avery "Billy" Bishop, VC,
CB, DSO & Bar, MC, DFC,
ED, LL.D. (Feb. 8, 1894 -
Sept. 11, 1956) was a
Canadian First World War
flying ace, officially cred-
ited with seventy-two vic-
tories, making him the top
pilot in the British Empire.
Written and composed in
1978 by John MacLachan
Gray in collaboration with
Eric Peterson, Billy Bishop
Goes to War is one of
Canada's most successful
and enduring plays. It is on
stage at Blyth Festival until
August 15.
Billy Bishop Goes to War
is generously sponsored
by the Royal Canadian
Legion Branch 420 &
Ladies Auxiliary to Branch
420 and The Rural Voice.

Blyth Festival is a pro-
fessional theatre that

give voice to both the
region and the country.
The theatre produces a
repertory summer season
of exclusively Canadian
theatre, with an emphasis
on new work. Blyth Centre
for the Arts, including
Blyth Festival, was
founded in 1975 - 2014 is
our 40th season.
Blyth artist challenges society's wastefulness
The Blyth Festival Art
Gallery features local artist
Kelly Stevenson in its
fourth exhibition of the
season. The Blyth resident
moved to town as a teen-
ager ten years ago. Since
graduating from the
Ontario College of Art and
Design in 2012, she has
participated in a number of
shows in Toronto, Stratford
and Huron County, win-
ning awards for her work.
The art pieces in "Who
Heals You", use a variety of
media and are intended to
hold a mirror up to ourselves
as a society and ask us to
examine our consumerism.
The imagery of Kelly's
paintings originates from
a combination of broken
or damaged objects, hard-
ware, and discarded tech-
nology. Working on paper
or surfaces that have lost
their original purpose, she
strives to open a dialogue
with the viewer. Embrac-
ing a naive style, the exhi-
bition consists of works
that explore relationships
between religion, technol-
ogy, violence, hope, and
human connections.
Through the use of a par-
allel universe, the works
take inspiration from the
society we live in and
examine the darkness and
light that's in all of us.

She describes the theme
in this way, "In a time
increasingly ruled by tech-
nology and under the con-
stant bombardment of
violent images, our west-
ern society has continued
down a path leading to the
dehumanization of others
and those closest to us."
Kelly attempts to under-
stand the world we live in,
and the connections
between humans in our
technology filled times.
It's through her paintings
that the viewers will have
an opportunity to ques-
tion our society and
ourselves.
"Who Heals You", an
exhibition by Kelly Ste-
venson, is presented by
