SPENCER, IA (Northwestiowanow) – The Spencer Middle School Theatre Department is bringing their production of Bye Bye Birdie: Youth Edition this weekend.

Tanner Prickett plays the role of Albert Peterson, one of the central characters in the story.
Eight-grader Megan Van Droonen Stars as Kim McAfee.
Bye Bye Birdie: Youth Edition opens Friday, March 6, with additional performances March 7 and 8 at Spencer High School. Tickets are now available through the Bound website or from participating students.
