A Historical Tapestry: Dogfight Musical by Theatrical | Chapel Off Chapel

In the heart of Melbourne’s vibrant arts scene, Theatrical’s Dogfight takes centre stage at Chapel off Chapel, transporting audiences to 1963 San Francisco. Antoinette Davis and Daniel Nieborski lead the charge with stellar performances, breathing life into a narrative that delves deep into the intricacies of human nature against the backdrop of historical events.
The brilliance of Dogfight lies in its ability to explore love and empathy amidst the complexities of a pivotal moment in American history.
