Farmers Alley Theatre in Kalamazoo is also doing a production of Pasek & Paul's DOGFIGHT during their 2014 - 2015 Season. Guess I'l be seeing it twice this coming season! Here's the rest of their very interesting line-up.

THE SECRET GARDEN – September/October 2014Based on the beloved novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, this whimsical and haunting tale tells the story of young Mary Lennox, orphaned and sent to live with her unknown relatives on the ghastly moors in England.  Once there, Mary tries to bring hope, life and spring back to the estate and her new family.  Book by Marsha Norman, Music and Lyrics by Lucy Simon & Marsha Norman.

VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE – February 2015The Tony Award Winner for Best Play in 2013, this hilarious comedy tells the story of a movie star sibling who comes home to her family with a brand new and much younger boyfriend.  From the twisted mind of comedic genius Christopher Durang, this riotous new work is a smart and savvy send up of the entertainment business while also a biting black comedy about family.

DOGFIGHT – June 2015A new musical from University of Michigan graduates Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, Dogfight’s recent off-Broadway run was nominated for nearly every award available.  On the eve of JFK’s assassination in 1963, three young soldiers are about to ship off to Vietnam.  One of the boys meets Rose, an awkward and idealistic waitress who rewrites the book of love and an unexpected love affair takes place.  Romantic and heartbreaking, this is a perfect show for audiences who love to be inspired and captivated.
