The Sunnyvale Community Players have been sticking to the classics this year, and their forthcoming show is no exception. The local theater company’s annual junior production is Bye Bye Birdie. The musical follows a group of local high schoolers, their families, a soon-to-be-enlisted rock & roll star and his management team in Sweet Apple, Ohio—the kind of saccharine sweet suburban American town that never really was. While Conrad Birdie’s handlers are trying to stage one last publicity stunt before he is shipped overseas, 15-year-old Kim MacAfee and her folks are chomping at the bit to appear alongside their daughter on The Ed Sullivan Show. Runs through March 10.
