porgy and bess (1959) and today

And speaking of great things to do in St. Louis... Tonight we are heading out to see Porgy and Bess, not the 1959 film, but the actual show. It has been on my short list for a long time and I can't believe we finally get to see it! It is a joint venture between the St. Louis Black Repertory Theater and the Union Ave. Opera.

Now if only someone would save the film from the slavery of rewritten history... Let's at least be able to see it so we can learn from the past.
