We went to see a presentation of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma done by Theatre by the Bay, The Community Theatre of the Bay Terrace Jewish Center. I was never a theater enthusiast, but I like to try different activities. There is no need to sit at the boob tube to watch 6 hours of football on a Sunday afternoon when we live in a big city with a multitude of activities. A broadway musical would cost about $100/ticket these days so this show was a good buy since it was only 10 minutes away by car. This group was obviously on a low budget so there was not live music or elaborate sets. We enjoyed the show which originally debuted in 1943.Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired 8 years ago after working as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark for 25 years. I was married to Karen until she passed away in February 2021. I have a son Lee who is now 37 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s, especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. I am an enthusiastic fan of the New York Mets.
