Joshua Shepard performs in 'Dogfight'

Joshua Shepard of Milford performed in the Wilkes University Theatre's production of "Dogfight: The Musical," from Feb. 19 to 28. Shepard played the role of Boland, with performances held nightly in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center. The play is based on the Warner Bros. film: On a soldier's final night of freedom before deployment, he enlists an awkward and idealistic waitress to win a cruel bet at her expense. But the tables are turned, and she teaches him the power of compassion. Pictured (from left): Justin Gaskill as Bernstein, Joshua Shepard as Boland, and Paul Doherty as Eddie Birdlace.
