Junior Players is excited to announce that it will kick off its new summer collaboration with the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) with a brand-new production of the hit musical Dogfight.

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 whom 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 show features a book by Peter Duchan and music and lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. It will be directed by Kelsey Leigh Ervi, with music direction by Mark Mullino and choreography by Micki Saba.

WHEN:  July 12-15, Thursday-Saturday at 8:00 pm and Sunday at 2:30 pm

WHERE: University Theater on the UTD campus, 800 W Campbell Rd., Richardson, TX

COST: All tickets for the production will be $10, making the performances easily accessible and affordable for all families in North Texas. CLICK HERE for tickets or call 214-526-4076.

Dogfight will be the first musical produced by Junior Players and the University of Texas at Dallas. It is also Junior Players’ first production open to college students and Junior Players alumni. Dogfight will be performed by 10 highly talented high school and college students from across the Metroplex. As with all Junior Players programs, there is no cost for the participants to be part of the production.
