Disclosure: This post is written in collaboration with Broadway in Detroit.
“Like all good stories, An Officer And A Gentleman is set in a specific world with its own culture, customs, and costumes—the U.S. Navy,” says co-writer and director Dick Scanlan. “And like all great stories, its themes are universal: Love, valor, and the ways in which our reasons for pursuing a dream determine whether or not we’ll achieve it.”
