Musical Director Jennifer Moehn said “Bye Bye Birdie” was selected because it was the musical they did 10 years ago when they started participating in the Jerry Awards. Moehn said she knew it would be easy to put together a good cast and presents an opportunity for adults to collaborate.

In addition to Moehn, Rob Cunningham is helping from within the orchestra pit, Alex Lentz is singing, Kathryn Zastrow will be dancing, and Jennifer Bochar, Kathy King and Brenda Davis are all backstage lending a hand. “It’s a lot of pieces that have to come together,” Moehn said.
