About The Show
Performed May 4, 5 & 6, 2018 at the Windham High School
When the draft selects rock star Conrad Birdie, his fans are devastated, but none more than struggling songwriter Albert Peterson, whose song Birdie was just about to record. Albert's longtime girlfriend, Rosie, pushes Albert to write a new tune and concocts a plan as a publicity stunt, that Conrad will bid a typical American Teen girl goodbye with a very public farewell kiss while performing on television. The scheme works, with a teenager Kim MacAfee declared the winner, but no one has counted on the jealous wrath of her boyfriend.
