American Arts Experience STL Announces “Dogfight”

by Luke Steingruby, posted in Theatre

Dogfight: The Musical
Regional Premiere! On the eve of their deployment to a small but growing conflict in 1963 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.

For MATURE AUDIENCES: In an effort to keep the selection of shows engaging and dynamic, this production may not be appropriate for all ages.
