ing experience, regardless of financial
ability. This event is the kick-off to
Tamarack’s annual campaign, which
last year awarded more than $850,000
in scholarships. The fundraiser
coincides with the camp’s Brighton
reunion weekend, which is expected
to draw alumni for a weekend of
social events and a visit to the camp’s
former Brighton location.
“We’re very excited to have Jon at
our event,” says Danny Klein, who
serves as vice president of Tamarack’s
board of directors and worked with
Glaser at Tamarack more than 25
years ago.
“Obviously, he has gone on to do
some pretty remarkable things. I don’t
think anyone who worked with Jon
is surprised by his success. He was
always animated, and he is the type of
person you can’t help but laugh with
when you’re around him,” Klein says.
In particular, Klein recalls a situ-
ation where his camp friend did a
stand-up routine at a staff social,
which he describes as just as funny as
his professional monologues.
As a camper in Specialty, enter-
ing ninth grade, Glaser had an
“a-ha” moment: “All through camp,
I was always active in sports, but in
Specialty I had a chance to work on
and be in a camp skit,” Glaser has said.
“My counselor saw something in me
and said that I should consider doing
drama.”
Glaser fondly recalls being a part

of a number of camp skits after that,
including a talent show where he and
fellow campers wrote the song “When
Jews Hike,” which he described as
a terrible camp-song parody to the
Prince song “When Doves Cry.” The
chorus went: “This is what it sounds
like … When Jews hike: Oy oy oy oy. Oy
oy oy oy.”
While Glaser says he didn’t officially
get into theater until midway through
high school, those words of encour-
agement at Tamarack really stuck
with him.
Once in high school, his mom, Gari
Stein, took him to see the Second City
Touring Company.
Following his 1991 graduation from
the University of Michigan, Glaser
moved to Chicago to pursue his act-
ing career. There he was hired by the
Second City Touring Company and
subsequently joined the Mainstage
cast of the iconic comedy club known
for launching the careers of countless
famous comedians, including Dan
Aykroyd, John Belushi, John Candy,
Gilda Radner, Steve Carell, Stephen
Colbert, Bill Murray, Mike Myers and
Joan Rivers.
As to what material Glaser will
bring to the stage of the Berman
Center, the celebrity Tamarack alumni
says he is still working it out, but part
of his message will include why an
overnight camp experience is so valu-
able. “Hopefully whatever I say will be
funny, too.” •
