Alice`s first experience on a professional theatrical stage was when The Earwigs provided the music for a Phoenix production of 'Bye Bye Birdie' for a short residency.

In the mid-70s Alice was supposed to star in a play as the evangelist Billy Sunday.

Right. It was for a theater production. I actually have Alice's script from it. Also, a full page ad from "Variety" magazine announcing Alice starring in the production. Just one of those things that never got off the ground. Happens everyday in Hollywood.

From the 'Arizona Republic', March 2nd 1996:

Fun At School: How would you like stars like ALICE COOPER and GLEN CAMPBELL in the audience of your elementary-school production?

The local celebs should be spotted at Hopi Elementary School today and Friday, when Cooper's wife, SHERYL, directs and performs in Hopi's annual variety show, 'Fractured Fairy Tales'. Among those in the show will be DASH COOPER and CHARLES KEATING IV. The program will raise money for the arts program at Hopi.

After a call to the Hopi Elementary School to get more information, I found out that our very own ROCK ICON, the MAN himself, wrote the play and was in attendance both nights of the show. DAMN! Missed again! I would loved to have stood up after the show, clap loudly and yell,"AUTHOR, AUTHOR!!!"??

Actually, only helped out with some of the writing.

In 1998, There were reports that Alice and Sheryl were producing a play at a local elementary school, presumably where one of their children goes. The name of the play was "Spaced Out" and it was performed twice, 6th and 7th of March 1998.

Since around `96, Alice and Sheryl have Produced these Hopi School Christmas plays each year and they have become more and more successful with the Coopers calling on industry friends to help with sets, lighting etc.
