More Retro Rumson Barn Theatre Buds

The time has come for all Rumson Barn Theatre buddies to gather once again.

Once upon a time, there was a crew of theater folk in their teens and early twenties who gathered regularly at The Barn in Rumson. They did shows, tech and bonded very quickly as the best of lifetime friends.

The proof is in the contact and gratitude for one another’s show folk mentality to this day.

One crew is reuniting on Saturday.

So, the Retro Pic of the Day honors that gaggle of Barn Theatre kids.

There are a couple of old (and I mean that in the kindest way) Rumsonites in this classic shot taken by fellow theater gal, Ann Toronto McNamara circa the early 1980s.

Recognize anyone? Here’s to old theater friends and bonds and, well, the notion that, according to a David Bowie song used in one of the shows, “We can be heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day!”

Here’s to our theater heroes! Stay tuned for the reunion photos!
