Thanks to generous sponsorship by Wells Fargo, the simulcast will be open to the public and free to attend. The live broadcast of the performance taking place at the Charleston Gaillard Center will start at 7:30pm. The following night, Tuesday, May 31, the performance will be shown on a jumbotron screen at the West Ashley High School practice field at 7:30pm. This screening will also be free to attend. Presented in association with Piccolo Spoleto Festival and the City of Charleston Office of Cultural Affairs, these events will significantly expand the audience for the highly-anticipated production that is part of the Festival’s 40th season. Additional sponsorship for this event has been provided by the Charleston Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, BET Networks/Viacom, and LiftOne. “Last year, when I ran for mayor, I said that one of our goals should be to improve our citizens’ quality of life by making the arts more accessible to more residents in more areas of our city. 1 Today, thanks to the Spoleto Festival USA and its sponsors, that vision is now starting to become a reality. Hats off to everyone involved in bringing this remarkable project together, and good luck and best wishes to the all the artists, performers, craftspeople and technicians who’ve been charged with creating such a magical night for our city and its people,” said Mayor Tecklenburg. “The response to Spoleto Festival USA’s production of Porgy and Bess has been remarkable. Charlestonians feel a deep connection to this opera that is based on a story by DuBose Heyward, one of the city’s native sons, that so evocatively represents the people of the Lowcountry. We are excited that this simulcast into Marion Square and screening in West Ashley provide a way for many more members of the community to experience this production,” said Redden. The announcement of the screenings was made at the Charleston Gaillard Center during a break in a rehearsal of the opera. The new production is directed by David Herskovits who directed the Obie Award-winning production of Mamba’s Daughters by Dorothy and DuBose Heyward that was presented at Spoleto Festival USA in 1999. Soprano Alyson Cambridge will sing the role of Bess and baritone Lester Lynch will sing Porgy. All three were present for the announcement. “Anyone can feel how this town loves Porgy and Bess. People in Charleston connect to the story and music in a uniquely powerful way. Our first days of rehearsal have brought together a talented, passionate team—we’re already cooking!—and we are excited to share the results with audiences in the Charleston Gaillard Center and beyond,” said Herskovits. The 40th season of Spoleto Festival USA opens Friday, May 27 and continues through Sunday, June 12. The six performances of Porgy and Bess are among over 150 performances to be presented in the city during this time encompassing opera, music, dance, and theater. Attending the screenings Porgy and Bess is approximately 3 hours, 15 minutes including an intermission. The opera contains adult themes. Access to Marion Square will be via the entrances located at the corner of King and Calhoun Streets, and the corner of King and Meeting Streets. To best accommodate audience seating and public comfort, no hard-sided or wheeled coolers, canopies, or tents will be permitted. Attendees cannot bring alcohol into Marion Square, in keeping with City regulations. 2 West Ashley High School is located at 2060 W. Wildcat Blvd., Charleston. The screening will be held on the athletic practice field, adjacent to the west façade of the school building. Limited parking will be available. No alcohol is permitted on school property, including parking lots and athletic fields. Porgy and Bess in Charleston The Festival’s production of Porgy and Bess has sparked a citywide celebration.

  • Wichita Symphony Orchestra Gershwin's Magic Key Young
    Wichita Symphony Orchestra Gershwin’s Magic Key Young People’s Concerts January 26-28, 2016 Family Concert January 30, 2016 George Gershwin (September 26, 1898 – July 11, 1937) was an American composer and pianist. Gershwin's compositions spanned both popular and classical genres, and his most popular melodies are widely known. Among his best-known works are the orchestral compositions Rhapsody in Blue (1924) and An American in Paris (1928) as well as the opera Porgy and Bess (1935). He began his career as a song plugger in a music store on Tin Pan Alley (played songs for people to decide if they would buy the song sheet), but soon started composing Broadway theatre works with his brother Ira Gershwin. Ira wrote the lyrics/words while George wrote the music. He moved to Paris to study with Nadia Boulanger, where he began to compose An American in Paris. After returning to New York City, he wrote Porgy and Bess with Ira and the author DuBose Heyward. Porgy and Bess is now considered one of the most important American operas of the twentieth century. In his jazz compositions he captured music from immigrants so not to lose that rich music, the voice of the American soul. Gershwin moved to Hollywood and composed numerous film scores until his death in 1937 from a brain tumor. Gershwin's compositions have been adapted for use in many films and for television, and several became jazz standards recorded in many variations. Many celebrated singers and musicians have covered his songs. The Roaring Twenties is a term for the 1920’s in the Western world.

  • Heyward, Dorothy Papers, 180.00
    Dorothy Heyward papers, ca. 1850-1976 (bulk 1918-1961) SCHS 180.00 Creator: Heyward, Dorothy, 1890-1961. Description: 18 linear ft. Biographical/Historical note: Playwright and novelist. The daughter of Herman Luyties Kuhns (b. 1855) and Dora Virginia Hartzell, Dorothy Hartzell Kuhns was born in Wooster, Ohio. Dorothy studied playwrighting at Harvard University, and as a fellow of George Pierce Baker's Workshop 47 she spent a summer's residency at the MacDowell Colony, an artists' retreat in New Hampshire, where she met South Carolina author DuBose Heyward (1885-1940). They married in September 1923. Their only child was Jenifer DuBose Heyward (later Mrs. Jenifer Wood, 1930-1984), who became a ballet dancer and made her home in New York, N.Y. Dorothy collaborated with her husband to produce a dramatic version of his novel "Porgy." The play became the libretto for the opera "Porgy & Bess" (first produced in 1935) by DuBose Heyward and George and Ira Gershwin. She also collaborated with her husband to produce "Mamba's Daughters," a play based on DuBose Heyward's novel by the same name. In 1940 Dorothy Heyward succeeded her late husband as the resident dramatist at the Dock Street Theater (Charleston, S.C.). In the years following his death she continued to write and published a number of works including the plays "South Pacific" (1943) and "Set My People Free" (1948, the story of the Denmark Vesey slave insurrection), as well as the libretto for the children's opera "Babar the Elephant" (1953). Earlier works by Dorothy Heyward include the plays "Love in a Cupboard" (1925), "Jonica" (1930), and "Cinderelative" (1930, in collaboration with Dorothy DeJagers), and the novels "Three-a-Day" (1930) and "The Pulitzer Prize Murders" (1932).

  • Visions&Voices: Porgy and Bess
    Visions and Voices and the USC Libraries have collaborated to create a series of resource guides that allow you to build on your experiences at many Visions and Voices events. Explore the resources listed below and continue your journey of inquiry and discovery! Porgy and Bess USC LIBRARIES RESOURCE GUIDE Tuesday, April 29, 2014, Ahmanson Theatre, Los Angeles ROSS SCIMECA of the USC Libraries has selected the following resources to help you learn more about Porgy and Bess. Introduction Porgy and Bess premiered in 1935 on Broadway in New York City. The work is a collaboration among George Gershwin, DuBose Heyward and Ira Gershwin based on Heyward’s novel and play, both named Porgy. Gershwin considered Porgy and Bess an “American folk opera,” musically integrating blues and jazz into the classical opera genre. However, the work was not really accepted as an opera until the Houston Grand Opera mounted the complete score in 1976. Nine years later, the Metropolitan Opera performed it. Porgy and Bess is now internationally recognized as a profound and unique work that it is quintessentially American in expression. The performance you will be attending is the most recent Broadway production, which opened in January 2012 and closed September 23, 2012. It was nominated for ten Tony Awards, winning Best Revival of a Musical and Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical (Audra McDonald). Synopsis The following synopsis comes from the musical’s official website at porgyandbessthemusical.com/story: On a quiet evening in Charleston’s Catfish Row, Clara and her husband Jake sing a lullaby (“Summertime”) to their baby.

  • Gender in Gershwin's Porgy and Bess
    Mona Sangesland Paper for MUHST 419A Library Research Award GENDER IN GERSHWIN’S PORGY AND BESS From its inception, public reaction to the diversity of Bess’ character from Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess has been very mixed. Many African-Americans were insulted by her portrayal as a low-life character1, which they felt would engender a negative perception of their culture, while many others sympathized with her meager circumstances.2 Bess is, consequently, a very controversial character and because of this, she is able to bring to light many issues, particularly regarding gender. As she is a less than ideal heroine, Bess’ often conflicting actions subject her to be perceived as weak and adhering to gender stereotypes. However, I would like to argue that while she is dependent upon men and trapped in an androcentric world, she is also able to defy these gender roles, creating a character that is ultimately very human in her conflicts. Through his music (particularly rhythms, text setting, and contrasting music), Gershwin was able to portray a woman who embraced and yet defied her role as a 1930s woman. I will discuss Bess’ musical roles and compare them with the arias of the women of Catfish Row, as well as examine the transformations Bess’ music undergoes in order to portray her diverse character, proving that she is both trapped by gender roles, yet unable to adhere to them at the same time. Three different versions of this story exist; DuBose Heyward’s novel Porgy, a theater adaptation called Porgy: A Play in Four Acts, by Heyward’s wife, Dorothy, and Gershwin’s opera, Porgy and Bess.

    PORGY AND BESS by George Gershwin, DuBose and Dorothy Heyward, and Ira Gershwin Directed by Charles Newell Music Direction by Doug Peck Artistic Consultant Ron OJ Parson May 12 – July 3, 2011 at Court Theatre Kittiwah Island, looking for Bess. All of a sudden, Clara spies the overturned fishing boat of her husband Jake outside the window. Fearing for his life, Clara hands her infant baby to Bess and throws herself out the door into the storm. Bess begs for one of the men to follow her; Crown volunteers, but only after taunting Porgy, who is unable to go. The next day, the deaths of Jake and Clara are mourned by the residents of Catfish Row. The care of their baby has fallen to Bess, who sings him a lullaby. After night falls, Crown returns to seize Bess, but Porgy is waiting there to stop him. They fight, and Porgy kills Crown, against all odds. The next day, the local detective arrives to inquire about the murders of Crown and Robbins, and the residents collaborate to protect Porgy. The police take Porgy in anyway, ordering him to identify Crown’s body. Once he is gone, Sporting Life takes his opportunity to persuade Bess to come with him to New York, convincing her that Porgy will be imprisoned. He forces drugs on her and extols the virtues of the city. She refuses, but Sporting Life waits patiently for her to give in. A week later, Porgy returns from prison, bearing gifts he bought with the craps money he earned in jail.

"Cabbage Row," or 89-91 Church St., Charleston is noted by 'The Guide' as a site of African-American history. Of particular interest is the tour guide's descriptive passage of Cabbage Row which states: "anyone familiar with the opera [Porgy and Bess] and its stage settings will see that this place ... could easily have been the original scene [my emphasis]." Curiously, this site of African-American history refers to a fictional work. Further- more, this thesis claims that this site is intertextual. It is both a site of African- American and 'general' history. This thesis asserts, then, that the visual authenticity of this site (in both its African American and "general" historical senses), is mediated by the fictional representation of race as exemplified by the novel Porgy and the opera Porgy and Bess.
