"Bye Bye Birdie" is PSC's 2026 S.H.O.W. production. A loving send-up of the 1950s, small-town America, teenagers, and rock & roll, "Bye Bye Birdie" remains as fresh and vibrant as ever. Teen heartthrob Conrad Birdie has been drafted, so he chooses All-American girl Kim MacAfee of Sweet Apple, Ohio for a very public farewell kiss. Well known songs include "Put On a Happy Face," the frantic teen anthem "The Telephone Hour," and the energetic “A Lot of Livin’ to Do".
