The rockin’ 50s are alive and well in Maple Valley! Remember the sensation Elvis caused when he first came onto the scene? And the commotion that was caused when he was drafted?

Bye Bye Birdie is a musical play based on those wonderful events that changed America! Conrad Birdie is a rock and roll singer managed by the Albert and Rosie. But he has been drafted! Albert and Rosie come up with a scheme so that they can squeeze one last bit of cash from Conrad. They’ll have him do his final televised concert in a small town in America and kiss one lucky American girl goodbye in front of the entire nation before he departs for boot camp. The comedy that ensues from this classic play is something the whole family will enjoy!
