The Theatre will be holding open auditions for "Bye Bye Birdie". Casting male and female performers. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: When the draft selects rock star Conrad Birdie, his fans are devasted, but no one more than struggling songwriter Albert Peterson, whose song Birdie was just about to record.

The scheme works, with young Ohio teenager Kim McAfee declared the winner, but no one has counted on the jealous wrath of her boyfriend.
