FRIDAY
The Dalles High School Theatre Department will perform its Spring Musical, “BYE, BYE BIRDIE.” The show centers around Conrad Birdie (loosely based on Elvis Presley), who, to the dismay of his adoring fans, is about to be drafted into the Army by Uncle Sam. Birdies’ manager, Albert, and his secretary/girlfriend, Rosie, cook up a plan to send him off in style with a hit new song and one last kiss from a lucky fan on “The Ed Sullivan Show.” A town full of colorful characters including crazed teenagers, a jealous boyfriend, and spotlight stealing father make for a rollicking good time. The upbeat score features such classics “Put on a Happy Face”, “The Telephone Hour”, “A Lot of Livin’ To Do”, “Kids” and “One Last Kiss.” Performances Friday night at 7:30 pm, Saturday matinee at 2 pm and Saturday night at 7:30 pm, all at The Dalles High School auditorium. Tickets $7 for adults and students, $5 for seniors and those under 12
