Snoop’s Theatre Thoughts Review: “Dogfight” at Stray Dog Theatre
The show also does a good job of portraying well-rounded characters, managing to make the Marines interesting and sympathetic characters despite some of their more unsavory attitudes. The actors deserve a lot of credit for this sympathy, as well, with Steingruby’s shady Boland and O’Brien’s eager Bernstein being brought to life convincingly.

KDHX Review: “Dogfight” at Stray Dog Theatre
Luke Steingruby and Kevin O’Brien are filled with an uneasy, almost desperate energy as they search for girls, drinks, and every adventure they can conquer during their few hours of leave.

Broadway World Review: “Dogfight” at Stray Dog Theatre
Ochs is joined by the other “B’s”; a strong perfomance by Luke Steingruby as Boland, and fine work by Kevin O’Brien as the ever-horny, and perpetually unsure, Bernstein. Both give off that “buddy vibe” that makes their friendship seem all the more genuine.
Belleville News Democrat Review: “Dogfight” at Stray Dog Theatre
It is Nov. 21, 1963, a night before ideals would be shattered and innocence lost. Eddie and his swaggering pals Boland (Luke Steingruby) and Bernstein (Kevin O’Brien) plan a night of debauchery in San Francisco before they are deployed to Vietnam.
Their energy, as well as the ebullient fellow Marines, is evident in robust numbers, “Some Kinda Time,” “We Three Bees,” and “Hey, Good Lookin’” which sets the stage for the show’s abundant macho carousing.
Steingruby displays his glorious, clear voice
