In the up-and-coming musical production of Bye Bye Birdie this spring, Jace Rimmey will star as Randolph MacAfee! In the show, Randolph is Kim MacAfee’s younger brother. He is extremely overlooked, but when he is acknowledged, he isn’t given much respect.
We asked him a few questions about his musical journey and what he’s looking forward to most:
