By David [email protected]
The show will feature Paul Asaro, who will play ragtime music on the piano at the Warsaw Community High School Performing Arts Center.
According to information provided by LCCA, “In a career now spanning more than two decades, Paul has performed at theaters and clubs worldwide. His ebullient stride-piano technique vividly evokes an earlier era. At the piano, he is a one-man orchestra, his left hand often representing the reeds and strings, the right hand a Sousa-influenced brass band.”
