CHARLES TROY
Friday June 13th 1:30 - 2:15pm
In The Festival Auditorium at Story Church. 18 East 6th Street Peru, Indiana 46970.
Porter’s witty list songs, like "Let's Do It" and "You're the Top," are so-o-o-o clever! You'll find out what a list song is and listen to Porter’s Top Ten, chosen for their excellence, popularity, or significance in his career. In this multimedia presentation, the songs will be played chronologically and you'll learn about Porter's extraordinary life along the way. $15. Reservations Recommended.
Charles Troy’s multimedia presentations tell the backgrounds of the greatest musicals and Broadway songwriters of the 20th century, in visually seamless programs with original graphics, scanned photos, edited audio tracks with the lyrics displayed onscreen, and historic video clips, coordinated with thoroughly researched, scripted narratives that weave the pertinent events into cohesive, dramatic stories.
Troy is a graphic designer and former theatre lyricist based in Chicago. His multimedia presentations merge his skills and his passion for the subject. Over the last ten years, he has developed more than 50 presentations.
He has built up a large and enthusiastic following in Chicago and in Florida. We are honored to have him back again this year presenting at the Cole Porter Festival.
