 2.  DOGFIGHT AT PEPPERMINT CREEK THEATRE March 19 - 22 & 26 - 29, 2015
The hauntingly beautiful musical Dogfight by Pasek and Paul (EDGES, JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH, A CHRISTMAS STORY), was praised by countless critics and nominated for nearly every award available including winning the Lucille Lortel Award for Best Musical. Based on the 1991 Warner Brothers film,Dogfight takes audiences on a romantic and heartbreaking theatrical journey.  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.
