Our voters loved 'Bye Bye Birdie' at Phantom Projects Theatre Group at La Habra Depot! Congrats to the cast, crew and production company!

Bursting with laughter, iconic songs, and irresistible energy, this beloved musical comedy follows the chaos that unfolds when teen idol Conrad Birdie is drafted into the Army. What begins as one final publicity stunt quickly becomes a whirlwind of swooning fans, frazzled parents, and unforgettable moments.

Directed and choreographed by Alan M-L Wager, Bye Bye Birdie delivers all the nostalgia audiences love while reminding us that celebrity obsession, family expectations, and figuring out who we are remain as relevant as ever.

Congratulations to the talented cast and creative team behind this joyful production. Don't miss your chance to catch this OCTG Recommended favorite before it takes its final bow.

📅 Closes June 21

Congratulations to American Coast Theater Company! OCTG's adjudicators have awarded The Spitfire Grill with the OCTG Recommended Stamp.

Set in the small town of Gilead, The Spitfire Grill is a heartfelt musical about second chances, unexpected friendships, and discovering hope in the places we least expect. Under the guidance of producer and performer Susan Berkompas, the production invites audiences into a world that feels both deeply personal and universally familiar—a place where community has the power to heal.

Berkompas describes American Coast Theatre Company as "such a haven and a light... it feeds my artistic soul," and that spirit shines through this moving production.

Congratulations to the cast, crew, musicians, and creative team on this well-deserved recognition. If you haven't experienced this beautiful story yet, there's still time.
