Northern Kentucky University's production of the musical 'Bye Bye Birdie' is a surprisingly serious take on growing up and finding true love in various means. That's not to say that this is a downer of a play — it elicits laughs from the get-go and leaves the audience chuckling along to the message that everyone still has "a lot of livin' yet to do."  

'Singin' in the Rain,' presented at the Covedale Center for the Performing Arts, is a true tribute to the classic film. Matt Dentino and Dan Doerger (pictured) could have been plucked from the movie. Doerger is especially a key component, keeping the comedic undertones noticeable.
