It takes a lot of work to keep a city functioning and growing. Roosevelt City has been doing both thanks to the efforts of Ryan Snow, City Manager and John Zilles, Financial Director/Assistant City Manager. Through the 2018-2019 fiscal year, Roosevelt applied for over $13 million dollars in grant funding. That is impressive on its own but compared to the fact that the city had a $3.2 million budgeted revenue from sales and property tax makes it that much more amazing.

Many aspects of Bye Bye Birdie strike me as charmingly antiquated. First off, the title role of Conrad Birdie (Mike Sorenson) is a send-up of Elvis Presley. Conrad’s manager and songwriter Albert Peterson (Justin Benson) is the stereotypical 1950’s boss, oblivious to the contributions of his secretary Rose Alvarez (Amy Lemon), who is also of course his girlfriend. When Conrad is drafted to the army and Albert is scrambling to make money off him to pay a debt, the solution involves flying Conrad to small-town America to kiss an adoring fan in a publicity stunt that will be aired on everyone’s favorite weekly variety show.
