About This Item
New York: Theatre Guild, [October 1927].. 15,[1]pp. Large octavo (25 x 17.5 cm). Printed self- wrapper. Photograph and illustrations. Vertical crease, otherwise very good. An original program for the premiere production of the Heywards's play, under the direction of Rouben Mamoulian. It would see later adaptation as a musical by Heyward in company with George and Ira Gershwin as PORGY AND BESS. This program holds extra interest because it includes the lyrics for the "Spirituals Used in Porgy" and a note on the appearance in the third and fourth scenes of the Jenkins Orphanage Band.
