Known worldwide as a masterpiece and "An American Folk Opera," PORGY AND BESS was George Gershwin's final work for the musical stage. When the musical revival opened on Broadway in August 2011, its goal was to "introduce the work to the next generation of theatergoers". The new musical includes changes to the opera's plot, dialogue and score to make the work more appealing to a modern audience. Park's adaptation sought to give dimension to black culture and humanize the depiction of race onstage. Parks has been honored with a MacArthur "Genius" Award, the Horton Foote Prize, and the Kennedy Prize.
