327627_Bye Bye Birdie Program.indd 1 3/19/19 6:09 PM

Bye Bye Birdie is inspired by the frenzy created when Elvis Presley received a draft notice into the Army in 1957. This classic musical also brought frenzy to my life as my first high school acting credit. As part of the teenage ensemble, I sang “Telephone Hour.” I remem-ber the excitement of rehearsing and hoped our set would look like the Hollywood Square boxes. To my complete dismay the tic-tac-toe boxes I imagined were actually 1- and 2-foot platforms across the stage. I was devastated, but the show must go on. The show did go on. When I started my teaching career in North Carolina, Bye Bye Birdie was the first musical I directed. My tech team built the Hollywood Square boxes. I am glad to share it again, complete with updated boxes, this time with the Bishop Chatard community. Our tech crew is known for the tagline, “We’ll take it from here.” Once again, they have. Student build the set, painted, pulled costumes, decorated the lobby, hung and focused lights, and created this program in your hands. They will also run the light and sound cues during the show. They are a wonderful group of talent. That, combined with the talent on stage, should make for an entertaining performance.
