‘Bye, Bye Birdie’ is a musical but not about migration
    Stop by the Community School on Thursday, Oct. 25, through Saturday, Oct. 27, at 7 p.m. and take a seat in the auditorium and let the Community School Players take you back to a simpler time as they bring to life a much-loved musical.
    “Bye, Bye Birdie” is the story of a rock ’n’ roll superstar named Conrad Birdie who is drafted into the Army and his pushy agent dreams up one last, great publicity stunt. Hilarity, misunderstanding and spontaneous singing result.
    The Tony Award-winning musical revives some of the musical theater’s most hummable tunes, including “Put on a Happy Face,” “One Last Kiss” and a “A Lot of Livin’ to do.”
    Directed by Patsy Wygle and Keith Moore, the show is upbeat, sweet and side-splitting. A large cast of primarily Upper School students explores what happens when an innocent small-town girl wins the opportunity to give Birdie his last kiss before he goes off to serve his country.
     The cast includes Brooke Allen, Jolie Blair, Tara Burchmore, Maddie Caraluzzi, Pierson Carlsen, Isabelle Carluzzi, Chloe Chrysikopoulos, Hannah Dies, Doug Dufur, Emmett Fortuin, Anders Fortuin, Cutter Gratwohl, Ethan Kjesbo, Lane Letourneau, Blake Letourneau, Evan Marks, Ella Marks, Shayna Moellenberg,
Jasper Mott, Hannah Robideaux, Sam Rogers, Reed Roudabush, Lauren Sunday, Nick Wright and Jamie Wygle, and also features teachers Paul Hartl, Connor Wade, Sarah Thompson and Kate Ristow.
    Musical direction is by Brad Hershey and Hilarie Neely choreographs. For more information, call Patsy Wygle at 622-3955. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students and are available at the Community School Theater.
