Description
Scottsdale Desert Stages Theatre (DST) announces the opening of “Bye Bye Birdie” on Friday, August 17 at 7:30 p.m.
Michael Stewart’s “Bye Bye Birdie” is the first musical to kick off the theatre’s 24th season in their new home at Scottsdale Fashion Square. The musical follows beloved rock star Conrad Birdie and manager Albert Peterson. After Conrad gets drafted to enter the war, the duo devises one final publicity stunt before Conrad leaves. After announcing Conrad's goodbye kiss will be planted on one lucky fan, the small town of Sweet Apple, Ohio spirals into chaos when their very own Kim Macafee gets chosen to be the lucky recipient. “Bye Bye Birdie” is a youth show performed by actors ranging from ages 3-19, and is directed by DST Alumni, Lisa Barton Figueroa.
“Bye Bye Birdie” performances will run from August 17 through September 16 with shows every Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. in the Desert Stages Theatre Cullity Hall.
