A full band, imaginative sets and staging, and a costumed cast of 30 make Bye, Bye Birdie’ a show the whole family can enjoy.

Even though the story is set back in the year is 1958, the theme of teenagers being smitten by a rock star, situations of family life, and romances keep the story relevant for today’s audiences.

The story is about a rock and roll superstar who is about to be drafted into the army. Birdie’s agent wants to cash in on new song, “One Last Kiss” by exposing it on live television — during which Burdie will give one lucky girl from his fan club a real “one last kiss”.

The rock star’s visit ‚Äì and attitude ‚Äì disrupt his agent’s life, that of the girl’s family ‚Äì and the entire town.

The show continues this weekend — but then, it’s gone!
