North Raleigh Arts and Creative Theatre's 2017-2018 Season opens with the regional premiere of Dogfight the Musical. 2017 Tony Award winning composers, Pasek and Paul (Dear Evan Hanson), bring you this story of a group of young Marines heading off to Vietnam.

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 cast features Matt Verner (Eddie Birdlace), Rebekah Holland (Rose Fenny), Andrew Faggion (Bernstein), Christopher Maxwell (Boland), and Mary Reilly (Marcy). The show also includes Sai Graham , Nathan Hamilton, Luke Sheldon, Elizabeth Hankla, Grace Gilmore, Ted Willis, Summer Collins, Brandi Campbell, Stan Williams, and JarEd Scott.

Directed by Timothy E. Locklear with music direction by Joanna Li, Dogfight is the winner of the 2013 Lucille Lortel Award for Best Off Broadway Musical, Dogfight is studded with impressive songs, and unexpected love affair. Come to a party with us.

Dogfight opens July 14, 2017 with Friday, Saturday and Sunday performances through July 30, 2017. Friday and Saturday performances are at 8PM with Sunday Matinees at 3PM. North Raleigh Arts and Creative Theatre is located at 7713-51 Lead Mine Road. Tickets range from $20-$14 and may be purchased by calling 919-866-0228 or visiting www.nract.org.
