Pine Brook Country Club
Benjamin Plotkin purchased Pinewood Lake and the surrounding acreage and built an
auditorium with a
revolving stage, forty
cabins and incorporated as the
Pine Brook Country Club in 1930.
[3] Plotkin's dream was to market the club as a
summer resort for people to stay and enjoy theatrical productions. Pine Brook is best known for becoming the summer home of the most important experiment in the history of American Theatre. The
Group Theatre (New York) was formed in New York City by
Harold Clurman,
Cheryl Crawford and
Lee Strasberg. The group was made up of
actors,
directors,
playwrights and
producers and gathered at Pine Brook during the summer of 1936. The Group produced works by the most important American playwrights of the time on real life subject matter which changed stage and film forever. Some of the artists who summered at Pine Brook Lake were;
Elia Kazan,
Harry Morgan,
John Garfield,
Francis Farmer,
Will Geer,
Howard Da Silva,
Clifford Odets,
Lee J. Cobb and
Irwin Shaw.
[4] In 1944, Pine Brook Country Club was sold, reorganized and chartered as the Pinewood Lake Association.
