SYNOPSIS - “Bye Bye Birdie” It’s the late 1950s and teenagers from across the United States are going crazy for the handsome rock star, Conrad Birdie. Meanwhile, his manager, Albert Peterson, is going into debt and has staked his financial future on Conrad’s success. Albert’s secretary, Rosie, is increasingly frustrated with the time and money Albert is losing on his project. Disaster strikes when Conrad receives a draft notice to join the military. Thus, Albert attempts to stage a farewell party for Conrad in which he is to kiss one lucky fan on the Ed Sullivan Show before he leaves for the army. Kim MacAfee, from Sweet Apple, Ohio, is the lucky girl chosen to be kissed. But conflict arises when her boyfriend, Hugo Peabody, gets jealous, and Rosie becomes fed-up with the treatment she receives from Albert’s mother. Eventually, things turn out alright. Kim and Hugo resolve their problems while Albert agrees to leave managing, become an English teacher, and marry Rosie.
SCRIP

Major Retailers Want To Give Musical Theatre Academy Money!
We’re pleased to share some exciting news about a fundraising program for our organization. It’s called “scrip”, and it’s the fundraising program that works while you shop. Scrip is simply a word that means “substitute money” - in other words, scrip is gift cards (money cards) from national and local retailers. They’re the same gift cards that you buy at the store. Many popular retailers participate in our scrip program including JCPenney, The Gap, ARCO, Pizza Hut, Red Lobster, Souplantation, Safeway/Vons, fast food, fine dining, american express, travel, and many, many others.
You’re probably asking yourself how these stores help us raise money. It’s simple - scrip participating retailers agree to sell gift cards (money cards) to our organization at a discount. Member families like yours buy the cards for full face value, they redeem them for full face value, and MTA keeps the difference as revenue.
With summer and the holidays coming up soon…think about purchasing SCRIP from MTA to use at your grocery store when you purchase food for your regular shopping, bbq’s, parties, Thanksgiving dinner and other meals! You’d be paying the store directly, why not buy the SCRIP thru MTA and use the SCRIP at check out?! MTA accepts cash, checks, Visa and MasterCard. Purchase SCRIP to give as gifts. There is even SCRIP for See’s Candy, which you can then use to purchase the yummy candy for your holiday needs. Travel plans in the horizon? Why not purchase SCRIP for use with airlines and hotels? I like to buy SCRIP, then redeem them at the retailers when I pick out that perfect holiday gift! Don’t forget to order SCRIP for your employees as gifts, incentives, prizes, etc.
It’s extremely easy. Order on line day or night! You don’t need to register a credit card or bank account.
On-line SCRIP Ordering Instructions:
www.shopwithscrip.com
On the home page you must register first in the Members Log In box on the right side of the home page - click on “not a member? Click here”. It will take you to the Family Registration page. Complete the information then hit submit. The next page will ask you for the Enrollment Code.

Submit this info and you will then be able to access the order form. There are hundreds of retailers on the on-line form! You can bring your payment into MTA along with a copy of your order, drop us an email, etc. We can take checks, visa or mastercard.
