Bye Bye Birdie
The first Spring Musical for MCHS, it was performed in March of 2003. Middle Creek had just opened up the previous fall, so the student population was very long on enthusiasm, but short on experience. Matt Scialdone had stepped into the breech to teach technical theater while the program was getting started. People were disappointed - the first MCHS show was supposed to be Grease, but unexpectly, a touring production of the show was coming through town, which prevented Middle Creek from getting a performance license. Bye Bye Birdie was put forward as a substitute and people eventually warmed to the show.
