Clayton Youth Theater presents
Bye Bye Birdie


November 14-15, 2008 @ 7:30 p.m.
The Clayton Center
Adults $11; Students (18 & under) $6

The Clayton Youth Theater will present its fall musical, Bye Bye Birdie on November 14 & 15, 2008 at 7:30 p.m. 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. Filled with memorable music, loads of laughs, and crazed teenage fans, Bye Bye Birdie is a show the whole family will enjoy.

Led by Nikki Dyke (Director), Ann Meigs (Music Director), and Heather Earp (Choreographer), the cast consists of 22 area 7th-12th graders, representing 10 different schools. (Clayton High School, West Johnston High School, Garner Magnet High School, Princeton Union High School, Cardinal Gibbons High School, Athens Drive High School, Johnston County Middle College, Clayton Middle School, Riverwood Middle School, and Cleveland Middle School.)

Tickets can be purchased by calling The Clayton Center box office at 919-553-1737 or visiting www.theclaytoncenter.com. For further information about the Clayton Youth Theater visit www.claytonyouththeater.com.

The Clayton Youth Theater has put in a lot of hours and hard work to bring "Conrad Birdie" to The Clayton Center... even if you don't know anyone in the cast ... please show your support and come on out to see them. I'm sure you'll leave with a smile on your face and a song in your heart. Hope to see you there.
