“Bye, Bye Birdie” Brings The musical comedy, BYE BYE BIRDIE, involving a huge cast and much talent captured the hearts of many TVHS patrons with the aid of directors, Nancy Yeiter and Dale Pace. A young music publisher and pros- pective English teacher, Albert Peter- son (John Hill), finds himself beset with urgent problems. His secretary, Rosie (Rita Murcia) wants one thing: to marry Albert. Another pressing problem is Albert’s domineering mother Mae (Nancy Ettinger). But most worrisome of all is the fate of Conrad Birdie (Don Hurd) who is vir- tually Albert’s creation and chief support, a rock ’n roll singer of im- mense popularity. Birdie is to be draft- ed into the army and Albert’s business as songwriter-publisher-manager faces collapse. “One Last Kiss” is the hit song that Birdie is to sing to fan, Kim MacAfee. The song and Birdie’s visit to Sweet Apple, Ohio splits Kim (Liesel Stroh schein) and her steady, Hugo (Kevin Duzenbery) up, but with the action of Act II, all is resolved-Rosie and Albert are together, Kim and Hugo make up, Mae Peterson is sent back to New York with Birdie and the Mac- Afees (Theresa Edwards, Brett Hack- worth and G. Hoover) are a little shaken by the experience.
