Geva Theatre Center

Geva Theatre's primary focus is the production and presentation of professional theatre productions in its 517-seat Wilson Stage and 180-seat Fielding Stage theatres. These performances serve residents and visitors of Monroe County and the 11 surrounding counties near Rochester, New York.

New play development and literary programs play an important role in the organization's service to the national field and the local community. Geva provides developmental workshops and performances for our Artists in Residence and other regional and national playwrights, both established and emerging, with an eye toward producing them in the subscription seasons. Geva's literary department provides extensive dramaturgical support and other resources to artists as they develop their voices and bodies of work.

Education and engagement programs are integral to the mission of the organization. Over 20,000 young people are served each year via workshops, Discovery Guides, artist-educator collaborations, attendance at theatre productions, the Geva-SUNY Brockport Alliance, and a pre-professional summer training conservatory. Geva serves patrons through Prologues, Sunday Salon talkbacks, and sign-interpreted, audio-described, and open-captioned performances.The Engagement department produces collaborative programs at Geva on- and off-site. It leads affiliations with local, regional, and national partners in connection with multiple communities and in the production of art and events.
