SETTINGAn opulent and lavish mansion in the Berkshires.

TIMESummer, 1931.

NIGHT AND DAY will be performed with a 15-minute intermission.

The video and/or audio recording of this performance by any means whatsoever is strictly prohibited.

COLE PORTER composed his first song, “Song of the Birds,” by the age of 10. A few years later, his mother had his piece, “The Bobolink Waltz,” published. Not long after that, his parents decided to send him to a private boarding school called Worcester Academy, in Massachusetts, which was said to have a strong music department. He attended Yale for college, and the large size of the university allowed him to find many musical opportunities, from writing two of Yale’s best known football songs (“Bull Dog” and “Bingo Eli Yale”) to accompanying vocal groups and musical productions. Porter graduated with a “Most Entertaining” award. During his junior year of college, Cole Porter created his first show, See America First. Unfortunately, it was not very well-received by audiences, but many say that if Porter not had this initial set-back, he would not have had the motivation to make one of the smartest decisions of his life: moving to France. While in France, Porter had an opportunity to practice songwriting and wrote songs for shows and jazz ballets that became popular hits. Late in the 1920’s, Cole Porter and his wife decided that, if he had any chance of making a name for himself, he had to go to Broadway. In 1928, Porter introduced his first Broadway show, Paris, which featured songs such as “Let’s Do It, Let’s Fall In Love,” which is now considered a timeless, sophisticated piece. Among his hit shows were The New Yorkers, Gay Divorce, Jubilee, Dubarry Was a Lady, and Red Hot and Blue. In addition, Porter wrote the score for many Hollywood musicals (including Born to Dance and Rosalie). In 1934, Anything Goes opened to box office success. In 1949, Porter wrote Kiss Me, Kate and it ran for over 1,000 performances. In 1960, he was honored with an honorary doctorate from Yale. It let him know that no one would forget him, and that all his talent was understood and appreciated. Porter died in 1964.
