	Yiddish Theater
Nice to be able to read the Megillah. I particularly enjoyed the piece about the Yiddish Theater. My parents took me to the Second Avenue Theater a good number of times when I was a child. We drove in from the Catskills. I saw stars like Menasha Skulnick and Miriam Kressyn and heard music always by Sholem Secunda. I don't know that I was crazy about it at the time. Everyone in the audience appeared to be in their 60's, 70's, or 80's and I was in my teens. I wanted to see an American play or musical with young people in the audience. However, now I treasure the memories. I also remember how thrilled I saw when I finally got to see my first American play. I was 18 years old, it was in NYC, and I saw Julie Harris in I Am a Camera. I remember sitting in the balcony, looking all around me, and repeating to myself: "I am seeing an American play!"
