Skylight's timeless "Porgy and Bess" a grand exit for director Theisen

Times have changed mightily since "Porgy and Bess" first took the stage in 1935 (though large, all-black productions are still rare in the arts, both stage and screen), but as staged and performed by the Skylight's remarkable cast and crew, the original production's sweaty South Carolina grit and gorgeous moments of massive, raw emotion seem well in tact with rarely any trace of cobwebs.
