Young Talent Wanted for "Bye Bye Birdie" Youth Edition

Grades 2nd-8th are invited to audition for "Bye Bye Birdie" Youth Edition. Please see the details below. About the project: A loving musical send-up of the early 1960s, small-town America, teenagers, and rock & roll, Bye Bye Birdie remains as fresh and vibrant as ever. Teen heartthrob Conrad Birdie has been drafted, so he chooses all-American girl Kim McAfee for a very public farewell kiss. Featuring a tuneful high-energy score, plenty of great parts for kids, and a hilarious script, Bye Bye Birdie remains one of the most popular shows in school and community productions across the country. Hit songs include “Put on a Happy Face,” “One Last Kiss,” “One Boy,” “A Lot of Livin’ to Do,” “Kids!” and “Rosie.” Additional info: Please prepare a song to sing that will best show your vocal skills. You will also be asked to read selected scenes (a script will be provided) Performances will be held at The Northeast Older Adult Center (Directly across from Pelbano), April 24th, 25th & 26th, 2026. Audition Workshop: Directors will have an optional audition workshop before auditions for those unfamiliar with the show.

When: November 8th, 11:00 am-1:00 pm. If interested, please apply.
