The late Marvin Hamlisch, an American composer and conductor who was a member of the EGOT club for winning an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony award, visited Camp Winnebago in August 1987 for a rare and intimate performance. While an audience was enjoying the 5,000th performance of his hit show A Chorus Line, Hamlisch put on a camp T-shirt and made the camp’s upright piano sing.
Hamlisch was a camp counselor at Camp Geneva in Pennsylvania and paid Camp Winnebago a visit for the day to check up on a family friend from Florida.
