Dogfight: The Musical at Harbourfront Centre Theatre

Thaumatrope Theatre is proud to present Dogfight: The Musical, a poignant and challenging exploration of cruelty, empathy, and human connection. In November 1961, a group of young American marines prepare for a party on the eve of their departure for Vietnam. The party in question is a “dogfight,” a competition between the men to bring the ugliest date and win a cash prize. Eddie Birdlace invites Rose, an idealistic aspiring musician unaware of the true nature of the event, and their evening together changes both of their perspectives on life.

General content warnings: Period-typical misogyny, period-typical racism, period-typical ableism, bullying, sexual assault, crude language, gunshots, wartime violence and death.
