Bye Bye Birdie (May 2026)
A rock star, a small town, and teenage hysteria — Bye Bye Birdie is a high-energy celebration of 1960s Americana. When heartthrob Conrad Birdie is drafted into the army, one lucky fan gets a goodbye kiss on live TV — but chaos erupts as romance, rebellion, and rock 'n' roll collide. With classic songs like “Put On a Happy Face” and “A Lot of Livin’ to Do,” this beloved musical is a joyful tribute to youth, change, and the power of pop culture. Calendar
