Porgy and Bess Opens Doors for African American Performers and Audiences
(Excerpt from Blog Post)
Porgy and Bess has had a significant impact on audiences. As it toured throughout the U.S., some venues like the National Theatre in Washington, DC were integrated because of protests from cast members. Kenneth Overton, who plays Porgy in NC Opera's upcoming production, said, "For many years, Porgy and Bess was the only opportunity where seeing African Americans in other standard opera roles would also increase visibility on and off stage. People go where they feel welcomed and safe.”
When Maya Angelou first saw Porgy and Bess, she had a powerful response. “I remained in my seat after the curtain fell and allowed people to climbed over my knees to reach the aisle. I was stunned. Porgy and Bess had shown me the greatest array of Negro talent I had ever seen.”’
