Pictured here are five of the principal characters in the musical “Oklahoma,” presented by the Narrowsburg Theater Group 50 years ago in March 1963. They are, left to right: Kenneth Johansen as Curly; Grace Johansen as Laurey; Tess Zehner as Aunty Eller; Kathy Hector as Ado Annie; and Sal DeMauro as Will. Superbly directed by Willard Slausenberg of Callicoon, it was well received. As printed in the March 14, 1963 issue of Narrowsburg News: “Record Crowds Attend ‘Oklahoma’ Here Friday and Saturday: Terrific Production.” And those of us in the big cast had fun performing, too!
