Event
Behind the Scenes of Porgy and Bess with Ernest Parks
Speaker: Ernest Parks, Former Cast member of Porgy: A Gullah Version
In 1924, DuBose Heyward was a businessman absorbed in his
Charleston heritage. One year later he was the world-famous
author of Porgy. Just a decade later George Gershwin transformed
Heywards book into an opera that would become one of the most
enduring masterworks of American music. In this four- part lecture
series, learn about the real life characters and Gullah culture that
inspired Heywards story, the controversies that have plagued
its production, and how the sights and sounds of our city are
the uncredited characters in a story set squarely in the midst of
Charlestons renaissance and the burgeoning preservation movement.
Tickets are $35 and must be purchased in advance.
