The Spark Performing Arts Center
It's November 21, 1963. On the eve of their deployment to Vietnam, three young Marines set out for one final night of debauchery and trouble. But when Corporal Eddie Birdlace meets Rose — an awkward, idealistic waitress he enlists to win a cruel bet — she rewrites the rules of the game and teaches him the power of love and compassion.
Dogfight is a hauntingly beautiful musical with a romantic and heartbreaking journey that will stay with you long after the curtain falls.
Run Time is approx 2-hrs and 30-mins including a 15-min Intermission.
Rated PG-13 for mature thematic elements, adult language, and sexual references.
