Save the Date – Variety Show May 13

The Roosevelt Variety Show returns in 2022 for a whole new year of talent packed entertainment!  Do you have a talent to share with the raccoon community? Come show us at the Variety Show! All acts are welcome!

Past variety shows have featured traditional and modern dance, musical performances, spoken word, and even cartoon drawing live! We really want to encourage children to come and share their talents and interests with us.
