Lorain Community Music Theater presents

BYE BYE BIRDIE

A Musical Comedy
Book by Michael Stewart, Music by Charles Strouse, Lyrics by Lee Adams
 
BYE BYE BIRDIE is one of the most captivating musical shows of our time. It is a satire done with the fondest affection, and tells the story of a rock and roll singer who is about to be inducted into the army. An English Teacher, What Did I Ever See in Him?, Put on a Happy Face, One Boy, A Lot of Livin' to Do, Kids, Rosie and Spanish Rose are musical theatre classics. This is the tops in imagination and good old fashion fun. 
It tells the story of a rock and roll singer, Conrad Birdie,(Keith Faris), who is about to be inducted into the army. His agent Albert (Rick Dawson) and his secretary Rosie (Laura Rightnour) concoct one final national publicity plan before Conrad's induction. Conrad will bid a typical American teen-age girl goodbye with an all-American kiss. Kim MacAfee (Julia Meyer) in Sweet Apple, Ohio wins the honor. The arrival of Birdie in Sweet Apple causes people of all ages to swoon, and the quiet little town goes into a spin. The MacAfee household (Ted Williams, Kerry Vanche and Max Kantor) is completely upset by the visiting celebrity. It is decided that Birdie will give his One Last Kiss on the Ed Sullivan show. Add to the mix Albert’s controlling mother Mae (Kristen Jones) and anything can happen.
Directed by Mike LaRochelle, choreographed by Brenda LaRochelle. Ted Williams is the vocal director and Bobbi Emery the orchestra director.
BYE BYE BIRDIE is a satire done with the fondest affection. It gives an insight into the everyday life that is very much part of us all. It is the tops in imagination and frivolity; a show that will be enjoyed by the cast as much as the audience. 
This year’s production will be performed on July 12, 13, 19, 20 & 21, 2002 at the Palace Civic Center in downtown Lorain. Tickets may be purchased by calling the box office at 245-2323.
