Bye Birdie~



Stratford Playhouse Thespians take to the stage with their new production of
 "Bye Bye Birdie,”
 a musical about an up and coming 1950’s rock and roll singer, Conrad Birdie. When Birdie is 
drafted into the army, it creates a rippling effect on the teenagers of the small Ohio town in 
which the play is set. A “Last Kiss” contest is born to publicize Birdie’s departure, which sends 
the whole town into a frenzy.
“Bye Bye Birdie” was based on the popularity of Elvis Presley, 
and the effect being drafted into the army had on his career. She is thrilled to bring this 
musical to the Memorial community, along with all the fun fifties music and style.


I'm so proud of our grandson~
The Town Mayor!
