MARCH 18 - APRIL 3, 2022

A young soldier learns the power of compassion when he plays a cruel joke on an unsuspecting girl.

The hauntingly beautiful musical, Dogfight, by Pasek and Paul (Edges, James and the Giant Peach, A Christmas Story) and Peter Duchan, was praised by countless critics and nominated for numerous awards, winning the Lucille Lortel Award for Best Musical. Based on the 1991 Warner Brothers film, Dogfight takes audiences on a romantic and heartbreaking theatrical journey that stays with you long after the performance.

It's November 21, 1963. On the eve of their deployment to a small but growing conflict in Southeast Asia, three young Marines set out for one final boys' night of debauchery, partying and maybe a little trouble. But, when Corporal Eddie Birdlace meets Rose, an awkward and idealistic waitress whom he enlists to win a cruel bet with his fellow recruits, she rewrites the rules of the game and teaches him the power of love and compassion.

NOTE: Show is "Rated R" meaning strong language, violence, and sexual references. (No nudity.) Intense wartime sequences, sexual assault, & fog/strobe effects.

Safety

We take your health and safety very seriously. Producing theater in a pandemic is nearly impossible, and we can’t do it without everyone working together to stay safe! Our Covid policies are subject to change depending on current conditions, and any modifications will be emailed to the primary ticket holder in advance of the production.

😷 All patrons to wear masks (even if vaccinated)
🧼 Sanitized surfaces

IMPORTANT: All eligible cast has been vaccinated for COVID-19 and tested multiple times per performance weekend. Following these procedures, our cast will not be wearing masks during the performance.

  • Until further notice, all audience members are still required to wear a mask covering their mouth and nose for the duration of the performance, in accordance with our mask-sip-mask policy.

  • You may temporarily pull your mask down to enjoy a drink sip, but for your safety and the safety of our performers, masks must be worn at your seats, when moving around, and during the performance.

  • If you are unable to properly wear a mask (covering both your nose and mouth) for the duration of your visit, we look forward to you joining us once again after masks are no longer a necessary part of our safety measures.

Please follow our guidelines, or you will be asked to leave.
