• Micah Parker stars as Conrad Birdie in performances of Bye Bye Birdie at CPCC

It’s all rock ‘n’ roll, fun and games until the army decides to draft you. In Bye Bye Birdie, the Tony Award-winning musical, - which Central Piedmont Community College will present performances of starting on Feb. 12 and continuing on select days though Feb. 21 in Halton Theater - that’s just the case with singing sensation Conrad Birdie. Meanwhile his agent is left up the creek without a canoe (so to speak); that is, until he plans for Birdie to star on the Ed Sullivan Show. But order is not in store, as what seems like a last kiss becomes a punch in the face when the TV appearance becomes a spotlight flop. Tickets are $5-$18. Performance dates/times are as followed: February 12-13, 8 p.m.; Feb. 14, 2:30 p.m.; Feb. 19-20, 8 p.m.; Feb. 21, 2:30 p.m. For tickets, call 704-330-6534 or click here.
