Southern Ohio Performing Arts Association 2009 - 2010 Season
SOPAA has a phenomenal, family-friendly, 2009-2010 season from all the arts for an affordable price. From the blazing horns of Doc Severinson and El Ritmo de la Vida to the swing tunes of the Columbus Jazz Orchestra; from the drama and torment of Gershwin's Porgy and Bess to the uplifting message about tomorrow in the Broadway musical Annie; from the jaw-dropping moves of Groovaloo to the awesome dance of the Moscow Festival Ballet it is all here in SOPAA's new season.
George Gershwin’s American folk opera, “Porgy and Bess,” has it all – unforgettable melodies and a riveting story. Many will leave the theater singing or humming It Ain’t Necessarily So, I Got Plenty of Nuttin’ and Summertime.
The Catfish Row district of Charleston, South Carolina is the setting for this story of sad and woeful Porgy, a crippled beggar from the streets, and his love for the hard living, hard drinking Bess.
With music by George Gershwin and libretto by DuBose and Dorothy Heyward and George’s brother Ira, this is a true American classic. If you have only heard the music until now, seeing this full production will give you a greater appreciation of the genius of George Gershwin.
….a powerful production of Porgy and Bess with a cast deeply experienced in this great American opera…. Joseph McLellan, The Washington Post
