The Glove Education Series Presents: The Rise and Fall of the Borscht Belt at The Glove Theatre
The Glove Education Series continues with a FREE screening of the documentary The Rise & Fall of the Borscht Belt. The Borscht Belt is the name for a section of the Catskill Mountains in Sullivan and Ulster Counties. Starting in the 1920s, it became a summer retreat and sanctuary for millions of Jews escaping from accepted American anti-Semitism. From the 1950s through the 1980s, this sprawling region of bed and breakfast farmhouses, bungalow colonies, and resort hotels numbered in the several hundreds and drew people from all over the Eastern Seaboard. The Borscht Belt was famed for its social scene, epic food spreads, and its entertainment. The Borscht Belt was the launching pad for iconic stand-up comics such as Rodney Dangerfield, Joan Rivers, Alan King, Billy Crystal, and Jerry Seinfeld. Following the screening, we will have a Q&A moderated by Glove Theatre Board Member Aaron Enfield. He will discuss the history of the Borscht Belt with Jay Blotcher of the Borscht Belt Museum in Ellenville, New York. Runtime: 1h 21m This film has been ?Approved? by the MPAA.
