Senior Rachelle Lumpkins (Mrs. Doris MacAffe), and senior Kristen Nease (Kim MacAffe), rehearse a scene together.
Tickets for the fall Musical, “Bye Bye Birdie”, go on sale Monday, Oct. 17.
The price of a ticket is $10, which can be purchased at the box office in the 12th Street Auditorium. The box office is open from 4-7 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, from 4-5:30 p.m. Wednesday and Friday, and on Saturday Nov. 5 at 1-4 p.m.
“It’s a really good idea to let people know to buy their tickets early so they are able to get the best seats,” music director Johnny Matlock said.
“Bye Bye Birdie” tells the story of a rock and roll singer, Conrad Birdie, who is about to be inducted into the army. Albert Peterson, his agent, is a very pleasant mild mannered young man. Albert’s faithful secretary Rose Alvarez keeps him and Birdie moving forward in the world. Rose is hopelessly in love with Albert, unfortunately he refuses to commit to her. In an attempt to get Albert’s mind back on college, Rosie concocts one final national publicity plan before Conrad’s induction.
Conrad will bid a typical American teen-age girl goodbye with an all-American kiss. Kim MacAfee in Sweet Apple, Ohio wins the honor. This kiss creates drama with the boy who recently pinned her, Hugo Peabody.
