Through November 8

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 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.

The cast includes McKenna Seckman as Rose Fenny and Corbin George as Eddie Birdlace with Brian Robertson (Borland), Seth Klusmire (Bernstein), Maggie Tisdale (Marcy), Randy Chalmers (Lounge Singer/Stevens) and Diane Thiemann (Mama). Chris Arneson, Mackenzie Bolte, Adam Kinney and Jessica Sotwick round out the ensemble.

Benj Pasek & Justin Paul are the Tony-nominated songwriters of the Broadway musical "A Christmas Story." "A Christmas Story" received Tony nominations for Best Musical and Best Book and received Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle nominations for Outstanding New Broadway Musical.

Benj & Justin are also the composers behind the Off-Broadway musical "Dogfight," a Best New Musical nominee for the Drama League, Lucille Lortel and Outer Critics Circle awards. They also received an Outer Critics Circle Best Score nomination for their work on the show. The show was shortlisted for an Evening Standard Award for Best Musical. The 2012 Off-Broadway cast included Denver's own Tony Award winning Annaleigh Ashford in the role of Marcy.
