CTK King's Players announce auditions for Bye Bye Birdie

FALLBROOK – Christ the King Lutheran Church's King's Players are excited to announce auditions for the Youth Performance Edition of "Bye Bye Birdie" on May 3, from 6-8 p.m., at Christ the King, 1620 S. Stage Coach Lane.

Actors ages 8-18 are invited to audition. To audition, performers must memorize and sing a one minute song with karaoke type accompaniment. This show needs at least three strong male performers, three strong female performers and several supporting and ensemble roles.

"Bye Bye Birdie" is a fun romp into the 1950s as Conrad Birdie, famous rock and roll singer, is going into the army. His manager decides that Conrad will give a lucky girl "one last kiss" as he leaves for his deployment. This kiss will be broadcast on the famous "Ed Sullivan Show." "Bye Bye Birdie" includes songs like "Put on a Happy Face," and "Got a Lot of Living to Do."

There is no casting fee for this show, however, actors will be asked to sell tickets to the performances. Rehearsals will be primarily Monday and Friday evenings with a few on Saturday mornings. Performances will be July 23, 24, 30 and 31. This show will be produced and directed by Mary Fry. For more information call Fry at 760-723-2724.
