Montville Summer U: The Borscht Belt: Comic Legacy of the Jewish Alps

Talk by John Kenrick

Join us for an entertaining talk celebrating the great comedians who got their start in the Jewish resorts of the Catskills.  Adults only.  Registration required. 

John Kenrick combines a passion for entertainment history with the practical know-how earned while working on stage productions at every level from amateur to Broadway.

"I think show business history is the most fascinating subject in the world. My goal is simple: to make it as entertaining and exciting for others as it is for me."

John gives talks on theatre and film history, has appeared in numerous documentaries, and is the author of Musicals101.com, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Amateur Theatricals, and the textbook Musical Theatre: A History. John is the Game Changer Curator for The Museum of Broadway in NYC.
