Calvin Theatre Company presents BYE BYE BIRDIE by Michael Stewart, with music by Charles Strouse and lyrics by Lee Adams (musical comedy)
Directed by Brad Cain, Adjunct Professor of Theatre

Teenagers, rock & roll, and national television – Bye Bye Birdie captures the energy and excitement of the late 1950s with warmth, hilarity, and an exuberant score.

Teen rock & roll heartthrob Conrad Birdie has been drafted into the army, much to the dismay of his manager, Albert Peterson. In a desperate attempt to save his career and his company, Albert and his secretary/assistant/girlfriend, Rosie Alvarez, devise a publicity stunt to send Conrad off with “One Last Kiss” given to a randomly selected member of his fan club--Kim MacAfee from Sweet Apple, Ohio--on The Ed Sullivan Show.

Recommended for ages 8 and up. We encourage families with younger children to research the show to determine individual comfort levels prior to attending.

The Gezon Auditorium is located in the Spoelhof University Center on the campus of Calvin University.

BYE BYE BIRDIE is presented by special arrangement with Concord Theatricals, representing the Tams-Witmark collection. (www.concordtheatricals.com)

The piano quintet is a powerhouse chamber ensemble, combining the sonic richness of a string quartet with the symphonic aura of grand piano. Inspired by Robert Schumann’s early example, composers from the early Romantic age all the way through the 21st century have contributed significantly to the genre. Russian master Anton Arensky, a teacher of Rachmaninoff, penned his sole quintet in his mature years, and the ever-popular champion of French music Camille Saint-Saëns began his prolific chamber music career with this quintet of surprising skill and maturity. Bracing violin duos by virtuosos of the Baroque and Classical eras serve as effervescent quintet preludes.
