"Bye Bye Birdie" presented by Davis High Theater

Rockstar Conrad Birdie is the biggest thing to top the charts. Women love him, men want to be him, and teenage girls around the country scream with glee at the mere mention of his name. But when the United States Army drafts Birdie, his manager Albert Peterson sees his claim to fame fading (much to the delight of longtime love Rosie Alvarez, who can't wait for Albert to ditch the music biz and become something respectable, like an english teacher).
Desperate for a publicity stunt big enough to help them survive Birdie's departure, Albert and Rosie hatch a plan: send Conrad to small-town America to plant his goodbye kiss on one lucky fan for the entire world to see. Their selection of superfan Kim Macafee sends the small town of Sweet Apple, Ohio into chaos.
Kim's boyfriend, Hugo, can't take the humiliation of his girlfriend kidding someone else on national TV. Rosie can't take another minute of Albert's distracted ways. And Sweet Apple can't take its teens' riotous rebellion, inspired by the arrival of bad-boy Birdie. Will Sweet Apple ever be the same?
