Dogfight deals frankly with serious and important subjects such as sexual assault and mental illness. We consider these are aspects of real life which should be represented in art however we acknowledge these subjects may be triggering for some people. 

We ask that you honestly consider your ability and comfort dealing with these issues before committing to your involvement in Dogfight.

In particular, you should note the following: 

• Birdlace and Rose are required to kiss and depict an implied sex scene 

• Birdlace appears to be struggling with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) after returning home from war 

• Birdlace, Bernstein and Boland visit a sex worker where sexual assault is implied 

• Some scenes depict war themes, violence and death 

• Some scenes depict the use of alcohol and drugs 

• Some scenes and songs include coarse language and adult themes 

• Some scenes and songs include misogynistic content 

We have included this information in the spirit of content transparency. To avoid difficulties later, we encourage all auditionees to read the full synopsis of the show, listen to the cast recording and consider watching the movie prior to auditioning. 

Please be assured that Dogfight will be created in a safe and controlled manner and we will always treat the material and our actors with sensitivity. However, if you are auditioning for/offered one of these roles and have concerns about the above please discuss it with the production team before committing to the show.
