This season, Geva introduces two new programs that will engage the community, enrich the audience’s theatre-going experience & explore issues of interest.

Geva 101
Have you ever wanted to know how an actor prepares for a role, or what the director actually does in the rehearsal room? Join us four times this season as Geva artists explore a variety of topics that will enhance your knowledge and experience of live theatre.

Thursday, April 27 at Noon and 7 pm in The Nextstage
An Approach to Directing
Cost: $8 for noon session
$12 for evening session

Join Geva Artistic Director Mark Cuddy as he discusses his approach to directing a play, from new work to the classics. How does a director prepare for rehearsal? What exactly is the director’s role in shaping a production? How does the director collaborate with designers and actors? What’s the difference between directing a musical or a drama or a new play? For Geva, Mr. Cuddy’s credits include the recent production of Vigil, the musicals A Chorus Line and 1776, the World Premieres of Convenience, Theophilus North, Famous Orpheus and the upcoming premiere of Splitting Infinity, as well as classics including Hamlet and The Miser.
