| Why not have Whites and Asians in Porgy & Bess, The Wiz, and Ma Rainey's? We will live a multi-cultural society and theatre should reflect where we are today. Does anyone expect Porgy and Bess produced in China to old have Black actors? |

| "Does anyone expect Porgy and Bess produced in China to old have Black actors?" As many people know, Gershwin's estate requires it to be performed by Black actors and I know a great many American Black opera singers who regularly travel to Germany to perform Porgy there. Unless it was unlicensed, or somehow exempted, I would think a production in China would have to do the same. |

| Linking an Anthony Tommasini piece on whether Porgy and Bess should be restricted to black artists, with interesting quotes from Simon Estes, who felt it should not be so limited. | |

| Forgive me for not feeling sorry for all the white actors denied access to perform in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. Theses posts usually make a pitch for the white Raisin in the Sun, too. | |
