​

Bye Bye Birdie follows the story of teen heartthrob Conrad Birdie, who has just been drafted into the U.S. Army. Upon receiving the news, his agent Albert Peterson comes up with a publicity stunt to boost sales before he leaves – a live performance followed by a public farewell kiss with a lucky girl from his fan club. After 16-year-old Kim McAffee is chosen for the kiss, things take a turn and comedic chaos ensues. 

 

All roles are open!  â€‹Registration table will open at 6:30 PM; please bring a current head shot if you have one.  Vocal auditions will begin at 7, and you will sing in the order in which you registered.  

 

Auditions will consist of singing a song of your choice. Prepare a song in the style of the show that highlights your vocal range and strength, as well as your personality and stage presence.  You can sing a cappella, bring your own accompanist, or sing with a soundtrack if the track has no vocals (bring your own electronic equipment).

 

We will teach a short choreography routine after the singing auditions.  Wear comfortable shoes and appropriate clothing for the dance audition.

​

Auditioners who seek a speaking role will do cold readings from the script in a group setting.  Callbacks will be Thursday, August 22, at 7:00 PM at the audition location.

 

BYE BYE BIRDIE is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals.  www.concordtheatricals.com.  Kasi Jones is the show director, Don Jones is the music director, and Catie Bell is the choreographer.

 

Show dates are October 18-20 at University Church. Rehearsals will be on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and some Friday evenings beginning Tuesday, September 3.
