Conrad Birdie, the “King of Rock and Roll” in this hit musical, is loved by the girls, hated by the parents, and envied by the guys. Upon being drafted into the Army, a wiley plan is launched and chaos ensues. Humorous characters and cleverly-funny songs freckle the show with an upbeat nature and hilarious happenings that will make families roll in their seats. This show is great for all ages! Local teens from many local communities have come together over the summer to present to you, “Bye Bye Birdie”. Come on out and see this show because… “You’ve Got a Lot of Livin’ To Do”.
Tickets can be purchased by contacting Monson Parks and Recreation at 413-267-4105, picked up at the office at 110 Main Street, Monson, or through cast member sales. Tickets are $15 each and pre-purchased ticket buyers get preferred seating. Check out the cast below and see who’s performing and behind-the-scenes in “Bye Bye Birdie”. Hook up with Monson Summer Theater online on Facebook, share the event and help promote a wonderful community-based youth program.

CAST LIST: BYE BYE BIRDIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations on an awesome audition! You all did an amazing job! The cast list is posted below. Please read all the notes because there are some details that will help you fully understand your participation in the show and also a couple house-keeping notes.

1. 1st Rehearsal: If you are under 18 you must bring a parent/guardian to the first rehearsal. This is the informational / read-through. Your parents need to know our processes and their/your expectation in this program.

2. Registration fees are due the 1st rehearsal UNLESS, you have spoken to me about a payment plan.

3. "Adult Chorus" - Please note that if you are listed in the adult chorus, you will also be a part of the big fabulous group. Example: "Telephone Hour" - everyone plays a teen in this fun song.

Those of you who have worked with me know that you WILL BE BUSY!! I like to keep my actors in shape doing various parts usually, and lots of movement!!

4. Conflicts - Get them to me ASAP as I need to build our rehearsal schedule. Contrary to what it says on the info sheet, there are some weeks when we will have Mon/Tues/Wed rehearsals and some weeks when rehearsals are Mon/Tues/Thurs. I need to get this nailed down right away. Let me know when your family vacation conflicts are. Technically you have a maximum of two weeks of missed rehearsals... that means 6 rehearsals max. BUT with that said please be there as much as possible. We need each and every one of you. :)

5. Facebook Group - I will put together a private FB group and invite you to it. Sometimes I can't find people though so, please friend me or send me a message so I have your FB.

6. The Email list that went out had a series of exclamation points in random spots. I didn't realize that the computer had changed my formatting in the process of copy and paste. I've deleted them from this list. They didn't mean anything. I didn't want peeps reading into that.

I think that's it. Drum roll please...
