SUMMARY:Borscht Belt Entertainment: Comedy and Music of the Mountains with 
 Alex Prizgintas
DESCRIPTION:Join local author and historian Alex Prizgintas for the third i
 nstallment of his Borscht Belt series. This dynamic program explores the v
 ibrant history of comedians\, musicians\, and "Tummlers" (entertainment di
 rectors)-including Lou Goldstein\, whose real-life story inspired the film
  Dirty Dancing. Enjoy rare audio excerpts\, video clips\, and oral intervi
 ews that bring this legendary era to life.\n\nAn advisory board member of 
 the Borscht Belt Museum of Ellenville\, Prizgintas did not live during the
  era of the grand hotels and bungalow colonies\, but is nonetheless fasci
 nated by the artifacts that remain. “Beyond their revolutionary archite
 cture and nexus of cultures\, I was always drawn to how the Borscht Belt i
 ntersected with many of my other historical interests—principally railro
 ads\,” says Prizgintas. As a staple of all these lectures\, this event w
 ill feature displays of historical artifacts related to the entertainment 
 theme of the Borscht Belt\, allowing the audience to visibly and tangibly 
 view the region’s past. For more information\, visit alexprizgintas.com
