It’s summertime. And there’s nothing like taking a long walk off a short … dock — especially if you’re a Rumson kid in the ’70s trying to stay cool.

Retro Rumson Barn Summer Showtime
Reprise from 2016, just because we think more people need to remember summer theater fun at the old classic — The Barn Theatre …
Summer is in full swing. School’s out and kids are embarking on summer activities. The weekend is here. So is summer theater.
In fact, The Premier Theater Company is opening its production of The Prom tonight. And back in the 1970s, some RFH teens were acting out … in summer theater at The Barn Theatre in Rumson.
Scene Around: Forrestdale’s Tidal Wave of Fun and Funds
Cindy Zipf was on home turf when she congratulated Rumson’s Forrestdale School students for raising more than $30,000 to benefit local charities — one of those non-profits being Clean Ocean Action for which Zipf is the executive director.
A Rumson-raised RFH graduate, Zipf was back home not only for congratulatory purposes, but to accept the $11,750 check for Clean Ocean Action’s longtime cause of keeping the ocean healthy with thriving marine life.
“Waves of thanks to the super savvy seventh graders, Mrs. Jennifer Brown — Grade 7 ELA & Team Leader at Forrestdale School — the seventh grade staff team, and the staff and administration for your dedication and commitment to your local communities!” a released statement from Clean Ocean Action said.
The fundraiser originally involved seventh graders at Forrestdale planning to walk from Sandy Hook back to Forrestdale, raising money via sponsors. But, when the stormy weather made the walk impossible, the Forrestdale Class of 2026 changed their fundraising plan to a series of activities in the gym that got all involved and earning for local nonprofits.
“It was an incredible event and the tenacity of the students to meet their goals no matter the challenge or the weather was inspirational!” the release added.

A classic reprise in honor of those summer days down by the river. Some things never change, except maybe swimwear …
Yes, summertime is here. And the livin’ is always easy down by the river. The sunning outfits may have changed over time, but the daydreaming state of mind has always stayed the same. After all, some Rumson river time is something to dream about. The reality is even more dreamy. And it shows in this snapshot back in time to about 85 years ago.
