Classic musical opens
The charming 1960s musical “Bye Bye Birdie” opens this weekend at the Everett Performing Arts Center, 2710 Wetmore Ave.
The musical, presented by the Village Theatre’s Kidstage SummerStock production, focuses on an Elvis Presley-like rock star who is drafted into the Army and creates a near-riot in a small Midwestern town when he stops there for one last publicity junket.
Hits include “Put on a Happy Face,” and “Kids.”
The production involves a large cast of advanced theater students performing with a live professional orchestra.
“Bye Bye Birdie” performs at 7:30 Thursdays through Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays through Aug. 19. Tickets are $16 and $14. Go to www.villagetheatre.org or call 425-257-8600.

The event is presented by the Brethren of the Sound and the Port of Everett.
