Assumption School stages 'Bye, Bye Birdie'

Eighth grade student Zachary Ardito, playing the part of Conrad Birdie along with other upper class students is seen practicing “Got a Lot of Livin’ to Do” in this year's performance of "Bye, Bye Birdie," directed by Anthony Burke.  Choreographer is Virginia Boxley.

"Bye, Bye Birdie" is Assumption School’s 12th annual Broadway musical production.
Assumption School draws on its talented students in all grades, Pre-K through eighth, to participate in its gala spring event. The cast is made up of upperclassmen, while the remaining student body makes up the giant chorus.
Virginia DeGennaro is the producer.  There is a wealth of participation from parishioners and friends to faculty and staff. The musical represents a collaborative effort that makes the production a success.  The school relies on volunteer help from props, to sets, to painting and scenery.
It is the only production of its kind in a Catholic elementary school.   
Suggested donation is $12 per ticket.  Tickets are on sale now at the school and available at the door.  Performance dates are May 11 and 12.  Curtain time is at 6:30 p.m.
