The town of Sweet
Apple, Ohio is in a swoon as teenage heartthrob Conrad Birdie is
arriving to give one last kiss to a deserving fan before leaving for
the Army. Hometown girl Kim MacAfee wins the honor. Meanwhile,
Birdie’s agent, Albert Peterson, is hoping that this appearance will
help his songwriting career and give him the courage to propose to
his longtime girlfriend, Rose Alvarez. Winner of the Tony Award for
best musical in 1961, the Dramateurs’ 2010 Youth Production is a
sparkling look at everyday American life in the 1950’s set against
the backdrop of the birth of rock-n-roll.
