Youth Theatre Carson City presents 'Bye Bye Birdie' Young Performers’ Edition this weekend
Youth Theatre Carson City will host its upcoming production of "Bye Bye Birdie" Young Performers’ Edition this Friday through Sunday, July 27-29 in the Bob Boldrick Theatre at the Carson City Community Center.
A loving musical send-up of the late 1950s, 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 MacAfee for a very public farewell kiss. Featuring a hilarious script and a tune-ful, high-energy score including such favorites as “Put on a Happy Face” and “Kids!”, the production remains one of America’s favorite musicals of all time.
"Bye Bye Birdie" YPE features the talents of over 40 local youth grades K-12 both onstage and off. Leading the cast are Xander Borg, 15, and Cameron Miller, 16, as the loveable neurotic Albert Peterson and Camilla Beckwith, 13, and Hannah Sullivan, 15, as his spitfire fast-thinking girlfriend, Rose Alvarez.
Also featured are Deepti Arun and Charlotte Choat as Kim MacAfee; Matthew Tapungot as the rockstar Conrad Birdie; and a host of young singers, dancers, and actors bringing this colorful production to life.
“I am so incredibly proud of this group of amazing young people,” commented Andie Wilkerson, Artistic Director of Youth Theatre Carson City and Director of the "Bye Bye Birdie" YPE production.
“Every single member of our talented young cast shines on stage with such grace and enthusiasm. I can’t wait to share all of their hard work with this community,” she said.
Performances will run July 27-28 at 7 p.m. and July 28-29 at 2 p.m. in the Bob Boldrick Theatre at the Carson City Community Center located at 851 E. William Street in Carson City. Tickets are $12 General Admission, $10 Students and Seniors. For tickets and information visit our website www.youththeatrecarsoncity.com.
