The Clayton Youth Theater is pleased to announce auditions for its fall musical, "Bye Bye Birdie."
Debuting in 1960, Bye Bye Birdie became the first rock ‘n roll musical on Broadway. The show, which satirizes the Elvis Presley phenomenon, tells the story of Conrad Birdie, a rock ‘n roll singer who is about to be inducted into the army. Conrad’s agent plans one last national publicity stunt to keep Conrad in the limelight and satisfy Conrad’s devoted teenage fans.
Auditions for Bye Bye Birdie will be held at The Clayton Center on August 22 at 6:00 p.m. and August 23 at 1:00 p.m. Students interested in auditioning must be in the 7th-12th grade during the 2008-2009 school year. Complete audition information can be found at www.claytonyouththeater.com. Questions can be directed to Nikki Dyke at director@claytonyouththeater.com.
