Troy is also a graphic designer and former lyricist, who has created more than 50 multimedia presentations on musical theatre subjects. His presentations blend recorded songs, original graphics, scanned photos, historic video, and scripted narrative.

Hello, Jerry! is presented in conjunction with the launch of the York’s Winter 2017 Musicals in Mufti Series, which will begin January 28 with a staged concert revival of Herman’s 1961 musical Milk and Honey. Following the second show, Berlin to Broadway with Kurt Weill: A Musical Voyage, the series will conclude with a presentation of Herman’s Dear World, starring Tony winner Tyne Daly. Performances will begin February 25 for a limited engagement through March 5.
