Actors Danny Kaye, Imogene Coca, and Carol Burnett, director Max Liebman, choreographer Jerome Robbins, composers Sylvia Fine and Mary Rodgers, and writers Woody Allen and Neil Simon are a small sampling of the major entertainment figures nurtured at Camp Tamiment, an adult summer camp that operated a playhouse in Pennsylvania's Pocono mountains. In this social history, peppered with anecdotes from oral histories and interviews of the "graduates of Tamiment" and archival materials, including original skits and lyrics, LoMonaco documents and illuminates a significant time and place of American entertainment.
