<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify">Based on the Warner Bros. film and the screenplay by Bob Comfort, this soulful musical takes audiences back to November 21, 1963. On the night before they ship off to Vietnam, a group of marines set out for
one final boys’ night of debauchery and place a cruel bet they call a “dogfight”. One of the marines, Eddie Birdlace, meets an idealistic waitress, Rose, and invites her to the party. When she rewrites the rules of the game, Corp. Birdlace learns the power
of compassion. <i>The Associated Press </i>called <i>Dogfight</i>, “Something special! Studded with impressive songs, and a genuine and charming soul.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify">Directed by <b>Victoria Bussert</b>, director of Music Theatre at Baldwin Wallace University,

</b>who appear courtesy of the Actors’ Equity Association. With musical direction by
<b>David Pepin </b>and choreography by <b>Gregory Daniels</b>, <i>Dogfight </i>features music and lyrics by
