Jack Taylor, who plays the part of Fector in Brelby Theatre Company's upcoming Arizona premiere of Dogfight, said he is very excited to be in the show, which he came to love very quickly.
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 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.
'We are so excited to announce our 10th Season,' said Brelby Artistic Director, Shelby Maticic. 'It's hard to believe that we're already at this point in our company's journey. We have an exciting lineup of 10 shows for our MainStage Season to unveil at the Season Reveal. Ten is the magic number in 2018. There are some really wonderful surprises, and some big changes to our season format to announce. It'll be extra special for those who are in attendance that evening.'
Brelby Theatre Company's Shelby Maticic has directed her company in a breakneck paced, enticing production of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. With a book by Rachel Sheinkin and music and lyrics by William Finn, it's a show that could be breathtakingly dreadful, but instead is wildly entertaining.
Shelby Elise Maticic is the Artistic Director of the Brelby Theatre Company. She has BS in Theatre Performance from Northern Arizona University and an MFA in Arts Entrepreneurship & Management from Arizona State University.
