Set in 1960s America on the eve of the Vietnam deployment, Dogfight is a poignant musical that follows young Marine Eddie Birdlace and his encounter with Rose, an idealistic woman who upends a cruel prank. Through intimate staging and a lyrical score, the production contrasts social violence and unexpected tenderness as it examines coming of age, moral responsibility and the possibility of change. The piece balances raw emotion with moments of warmth.
