Faced with the sale of the century-old family summer house on Cape Cod where he had spent forty-two summers, George Howe Colt returned for one last stay with his wife and children. The Big House is a poignant tribute to the eleven-bedroom jumble of gables, bays, and dormers that watched over weddings, divorces, deaths, anniversaries, birthdays, breakdowns, and love affairs for five generations. Colt will weave a discussion of the Pulitzer Prize-nominated book with readings.

Porgy & Bess: Music & Stories

Start: Friday, March 5, 2010

End: Saturday, March 6, 2010

Times: 8:00pm - 10:30pm

Location: Cotuit Center for the Arts, 4404 Falmouth Rd (rte 28), Cotuit MA 02635

In recognition of the 75th anniversary of Porgy & Bess, Cotuit Center for the Arts will present Porgy & Bess: Music & Stories, four staged concerts featuring selected arias and ensemble pieces from the famous folk opera. This will be the premier performance of this show on Cape Cod with unique arranging and staging. There will also be a two piano arrangement with Robert Wyatt and Jared McMurray which will punctuate the individual performances.  Throughout the evening, Dr. Wyatt will also present information focusing on the historical and cultural significance of the opera.  Some of the featured arias include: I Got Plenty, Summertime, It Ain’t Necessarily So, and Bess You Is My Woman.

Porgy & Bess, an “American folk opera,” opened in New York City’s Alvin Theatre on October 10, 1935. George Gershwin, his brother Ira and co-librettists and lyricists DuBose and Dorothy Heyward, crafted an intense musical drama that ultimately spawned a furious debate about authenticity, musical style and form, racial prejudice and national identity. The music and lyrics have survived more that 70 years and the work’s stature is unsurpassed in the American operatic repertoire.

Each performance of Porgy & Bess: Music & Stories will be preceded by a lecture given by Professor Morgan James “Mwalim” Peters, who is cast as Sportin’ Life in the show, entitled ‘It Ain't Necessarily So:’ the legacy of white fantasies, the Black experience, and the importance of Black Theater. Audiences are invited to participate in a question and answer session with the entire cast following each performance.

Performances are on Friday, March 5, 2010 at 8:00 pm, Saturday, March 6, 2010 at 4:00 pm and 8:00 pm and Sunday, March 7, 2010 at 2:00 pm. The lecture is offered one hour prior to showtime.

Tickets are  $30/$25 Members & Seniors/$12 Students. Group Discounts available for 10 or more. Pre-paid advance credit card sales with MasterCard and Visa by calling 508-428-0669 or online at www.cotuitcenterforthearts.org.
