In 1950, a young man named Charles Seller was struck by a train losing one of his legs. His family and friends came together to put on a variety show named Talent Time to aid in his medical costs. This started a tradition in Bloomfield, NJ, that has lasted for more than 70 years. Each summer our members, who are in their mid-teens to early thirties, produce and perform a musical in which all profits go towards someone in the area with high medical bills.

I have possession of slides Talent Time shows from 1976 to 1982. These were taken by Paul Currier, professional photographer and avid Talent Time supporter. I would like to pass these on to your organization. The shows include ‘Lil Abner, Carousel, Bye Bye Birdee, Brigadoon, Kiss Me Kate & more.
I remember being in Talent Time’s production of Lil Abner. I would love to see the slides of the production. I preferred to work behind the scenes, like the crew that does the scenery. I was in charge of constructing Jubilation T. Cornpone’s statue. My deceased brother Otto Zappo was in the orchestra. For this production, the director asked me to play two small parts because they were looking for someone who is tall. I played one of the Skraggs and the recondition man.
Louis, thank you so much for sharing!
