Bye Bye Birdie hits the Kelsey Theatre stage
By JULIE STIPE
The West Windsor Sun
This month, all the poodle
skirts, saddle shoes and gold
lam-wearing rock stars you can
handle are coming to Mercer
Community Colleges Kelsey The-
atre in West Windsor.
On July 20, 21, and 22, the Yard-
ley Players will present Bye Bye
Birdie, a musical set in 1958 and
inspired by the popularity of
Elvis Presley.
In Bye Bye Birdie, hugely
popular rock and roll star Conrad
Birdie has been drafted into the
Army, and is set to go overseas.
Before he leaves, his agent plans
to have Birdie sing one last song,
live on television, then kiss one
teenage fan goodbye.
Accordingly, Birdie ends up in
Sweet Apple, Ohio, to kiss Kim
MacAfee, and in the process, cre-
ates all kinds of drama.
Sixteen-year-old Sally Graham,
from Yardley, Pa., plays Kim
McAfee, the teenage girl chosen
for the kiss.
Kim is very sweet in the first
act, Graham said. She is a lot
like myself; shes sweet and naive
and doesnt really know whats
going on with modern stuff, and
she is trying to act older, but is re-
ally actually younger.
In the play, Grahams character
has just started dating her
boyfriend, Hugo, but the excite-
ment surrounding her appear-
ance on television with Conrad
Birdie leads her to doubt her feel-
ings for Hugo.
In the second act, she becomes
a little more rebellious, and starts
running away from home, and
does all these crazy things with
this Conrad Birdie guy, Graham
said.
The part of Kim MacAfee,
along with that of Conrad
Birdies agent, Albert, and his
girlfriend and secretary, Rosie, is
one of the main roles in the play,
requiring plenty of singing and
dancing, as well as acting, but
Graham is comfortable in all
three areas.
My favorite part is definitely
the dancing and singing, Gra-
ham said. I like acting, dont get
me wrong, but its not my
strongest. Id definitely consider
singing and dancing my stronger
points.
Graham said she is involved
with choir at Pennsbury High
School, where she attends school,
and also participates in high
school plays. She has been in-
volved in two Kelsey Theatre pro-
ductions prior to this one: Joseph
and the Amazing Technicolor
Dreamcoat, and The Wizard of
Oz.
Conrad Birdies manager Albert Peterson assures his mother that he
cares for her during rehearsals for the musical Bye Bye Birdie.
