Clayton Youth Theater says “Hello” to Bye, Bye Birdie
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.
Founded by Nikki Dyke in 2007, and adopted by the Clayton Cultural Arts Foundation, the Clayton Youth Theater was established to showcase the talents of area middle school and high school students, while bringing high quality productions to the community. CYT presented its inaugural production, Little Shop of Horrors, in the summer of 2007, followed by its second production, Godspell in February of 2008. Both shows had successful runs with over 500 people attending each production.
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.
