Eddie and Rose: What happens when trouble meets tender? Three young marines are going to war. But before they go they’ve got one last night. One night to party and play, to tease and taunt. Eddie takes on a cruel bet with his buddies, and Rose is his victim. But she’s more than he bargained for. What’s Eddie going to do when Rose rewrites the rules and his last night turns into a lesson on the power of compassion? Read the Press Release

San Francisco Playhouse’s production of Dogfight is made possible by Executive Producer Robert Hulteng, and Associate Producers Jim & Sandy Robbins.
