BYE BYE BIRDIE Closes at CPCC Theatre on Feb. 21

CPCC Theatre's Bye Bye Birdie will play its final show on February 21 at 2:30pm in the Halton Theatre on the CPCC Central Campus.

What do you do when you've gone into debt to turn an unknown singer into a superstar and he gets drafted? Well, if you're agent Albert Peterson you stage the biggest farewell kiss ever given to a new G.I by his biggest fan. Never mind that your girlfriend is threatening to leave you. Your Mother wants you to give it all up and become an English teacher or that the fans chosen to deliver that last kiss has a jealous boy friend and an irate father. What do you get when all of this starts to boil over on the Ed Sullivan Show? You get Bye Bye Birdie. Winner of 4 Tony Awards including Best Musical of 1961, Bye Bye Birdie brought to the stage such memorable tunes as Put on a Happy Face and Hymn to a Sunday Evening(Ed Sullivan). Grab your dancing shoes, Birdie is coming to town at the Halton Theatre.

The CPCC Theatre cast of Bye Bye Birdie includes Andy Faulkenberry as Albert Peterson, Courtney Johnston as Rosie, David Cruse as Mr. MacAfee, Lori Anne Sword as Mrs. MacAfee, Christina Cook as Kim MacAfee, Gloria King as Mae Peterson, and Micah Parker as Conrad Birdie.
