this Friday and Saturday evenings High school theatricals and ly musicals from Intermittent outside support amateurish sets and props actors stage fright and a few poorly timed deliveries There may also be a few high notes in Ihe score Bye Bye Birdie that are const taking legal action as a result of damages Inflicted upon during the local opening night performance Such problems of course must be anticipated and then disregarded with a view the fine efforts of high schoolers overcoming in the end any and all productional shortcomings that may have marred surface of the play In fact director Vera Mae a founding member of Ihe Georgetown Little Theatre and an award winning actress In her own right has done magnificent job of smoothing over the rough spots and allow the youthful cast of Bye
