Charles Troy, America’s most acclaimed dramatic musical theatre historian, is a retired graphic designer and former theatre lyricist who has developed 60 multimedia presentations on musical theatre subjects. Nearly half of these presentations are programs on the stories behind many of the great musicals.
These visually seamless presentations combine his own original graphics with historic photos, edited audio tracks with the lyrics displayed onscreen, and illustrative video clips that weave the pertinent events into a dramatic tale.
Charles lives in the Chicago area and is very active there. He has also appeared multiple times at the York Theatre Company in New York City, at the Cole Porter Festival in Porter’s hometown of Peru, Indiana, and makes an annual winter tour of Florida. His website is www.charlestroy.com.
