The Catskills: A First Hand Account from Local Resident Mort Segal

Mort started working in the Catskills in
1943 as a busboy. At age 17, he went to
work for his father Jack Segal in booking
entertainment for the resorts. The
business grew into the largest booking
agency in the Catskills. Little did he know
he would end up in the center of it. He
even roomed with Buddy Hackett, was
friends with Joan Rivers, and knew
hundreds of other stars of English and
Yiddish vaudeville, stage and screen.
The history is interesting, the stories
personal and funny. Come hear these first
hand stories that will bring back memories
of an era that no longer exists.

The event is finished.
