To the Editor:

This is in response to Lindsay Fuller, who complained of whiners who expect taxpayers to support artistic causes, namely Surflight Theatre (Commentary, 10/12).

I think the theater is a good cause that merits our support. It’s an institution on Long Beach Island that survived from 1950 to 2014. Yes, there was bad management in the last years. The musicals were of Broadway quality and the ticket prices did not cover the expenses. It can be made better in the true summer stock fashion.
