LOVE, LINDA, THE LIFE OF MRS. COLE

PORTER AT THE TOWLE THEATER: In a 90, minute, one act play featuring the marvelous songs of Cole Porter, Linda J. Wilczynski, a veteran of the Towle Stage, carried the life of her muse with style and sophistication. We learn of the love and life of Cole Porter, whose attentions were divided yet no less passionate and of Linda’s devotion to one of the 20th century’s most prolific songwriters. Through her eyes and in song, we learn of the enormous talent of a man so associated with musical theatre in the early part of the last century. In a lovely set, stunning in it’s simplicity, we learn of Linda’s unrequited love for Cole Porter. Accompanying Linda J. Wilczynski as Linda Porter are three accomplished musician’s--Valerie Webdell, Amanada Kraupner and Ron Fary. The musical was presented February 24-26 and March 3-5. For more information call the Theater at 219-937-8780 or visit www. toweltheater.org
