Porgy and Bess, widely recognized as an American masterpiece, tells a story of pride, prejudice, pathos and passion as it dramatizes the trials of life along Catfish Row.

Originally billed as a “folk opera,” Porgy and Bess features George Gershwin’s radiant jazz and blues influenced score including the classic songs you’ve come to love – Summertime, Bess, You Is My Woman Now, I Got Plenty O’ Nuttin’ and It Ain’t Necessarily So.

The Washington Post raves the production “is packed with pleasures.”
