Let’s Have Fun: “West Side Story”

MCJC’s presentation of Charles Troy show “The Creation of West Side Story.”

Charles Troy came to MCJC on Sunday, October 23 as part of the MCJC "Let's Have Fun Together" series of shows. Charles Troy researches and presents multimedia programs to dramatize the stories behind the American Musical Theater. Charles performed his highly entertaining and brilliantly-crafted show, "The Creation of West Side Story." Nine musical numbers from "West Side Story" were presented during the show, and Carol Lawrence's and Larry King's rendition of the song, "Tonight" was "entertainment heaven," according to MCJC member Jerry Trachsler.

The show was a non-ticketed program, and the donations during the dessert social raised $215 for MCJC. Special thanks to Lou Dolmon for coordinating the audio-visual for the show, to Dale Morton for moving the bimah, and to the following MCJC members for bringing food and setting up the after-show social: Muriel Pick, Ilene Kaye, Linda & Jerry Trachsler, Sunshine Roth, Ellen Morton, and Bruce Weiss.
