When I was a young teen-ager the WPA was a government program. It payed a small salary to keep people employrd during the lean years before WW11. The New York Stage and Theater actors and singers etc. were no different. They would come to Silver Lake and set up a stage and put on Operettas and Plays and we would come from all over the Island with our blankets to sit on the grass and watch some of the best performances we would ever see in our lives for nothing. I think that was some education in itself as I do not think I would have ever have had such an opportunity on my folks inciome to get to see this calabre of theater. Marcene
