STATE COLLEGE, PA – Penn State Centre Stage will present the award-winning musical, Dogfight, April 1-11 at the Downtown Theatre Centre. With music and lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul and a book by Peter Duchan, the production will be directed by Richard Roland, music directed by Jordan Jones-Reese, and will feature an exciting cast of current Penn State students.

Called "an intimate little heartbreaker of beguiling freshness" (Newsday), Dogfight – a musical based on the 1991 film of the same name – tells a tender and brutal tale of young people meeting in a situation certain to end in heartbreak. 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 perhaps a little trouble. When Corporal Eddie Birdlace meets Rose, however, 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 compassion.
