This 90-minute program will address the fact that the worst economic period in America’s history coincided with the height of the elegant Porter’s career.
Between the stock market crash in 1929 and Pearl Harbor in 1941, Porter wrote the scores for twelve shows and four films, took a round-the-world cruise—and was permanently injured in a horseback riding accident.
This program considers songs from every one of Porter's works during the period, and reflects on what was going on in the outside world when each show and film debuted.
