The musical theatre organization is putting on Bye Bye Birdie and Anything Goes at Malkin Bowl in Stanley Park. The shows run on alternating nights, starting at 8 p.m., until Aug. 20.
Set in 1960, Bye Bye Birdie, it tells the fictional story of famous rock star Conrad Birdie and his manager, teenaagers in Sweet Apple, Ohio, and what happens when Birdie gets drafted. Lau takes on the roles of the reporter, 'Sweet Apple Folk' and stage manager.
This is Lau's seventh season with Theatre Under the Stars, and he was recently named an Ovation award winner for Outsanding Gypsy 2011.
