Bye, Bye, Birdie at Swain Center for the Arts

The musical, "Bye, Bye, Birdie" will be performed at Swain County Center for the Arts in Bryson City 6 times starting this Friday, March 16. This energy-filled musical gently spoofs Elvis and rock and roll fans of the '50s. It is presented by SCHS Drama Classes and Vocal Ensemble under the direction of J Gilbert and SCHS Band directed by Karen Williams. Backdrops were painted by Ceana Hoffmans's SCHS 4th block art class. The production involves more than 100 SCHS students and numerous community volunteers.

Admission is $8 for Adults and $5 for Students and Seniors. You can buy tickets from students or pay at the door. Hope you can join us for at least one performance. You can go to www.swaincountyschools.com/cfta/index.htm for directions or a complete calendar of events. The dates and times for the musical, "Bye, Bye, Birdie," are as follows:

Just a reminder that due to the renovation of the gymnasium which is located next to Swain County Center for the Arts, some of the parking immediately in front can't be used. There is plenty of parking in the upper half of the parking lot, at the Alternative School, at the Stadium and on the other side of the high school. Allow a few extra minutes for parking and perhaps walking to the Arts Center from one of these parking areas.
