Director Jeremiah Miller, and assistant director Justin Hopkins do a great job of maximizing the entire performance space and making the show quite immersive.  Speaking of which, kudos to fight coordinator, Dan Burke who choreographed an intense full-cast battle during the second half of the show worth the price of admission, alone.

The final day of the Harrisburg Fringe Festival was just as exciting as the previous days. In spite of the rain, there were full houses for many of the performances, and audiences and artists alike were enthusiastic and ready for another day to “do something weird.”

Set in the early 1960's, three young marines, Eddie Birdlace and his two best friends Bernstein and Boland, or as they like to be called the 'Three B's', are fresh out of training and about to be deployed into the small but growing war in Vietnam. These 'Three B's' consider this war a calling for heroes, and picture themselves returning for a 'Hometown Hero's Ticker Tape Parade'. Rambunctious, fearless, and bloated with confidence, these three best friends set out to enjoy one last boy's night, waging a cruel and heartless bet on who can get the homeliest date. Yet when Eddie Birdlace meets Rose, an awkward and practical waitress, this despicable game becomes less amusing. See how the rest plays out when Bellarine Theatre Company presents Dogfight, The Musical from May 19th to the 22nd.
