Geva Theatre Center
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Geva Theatre Center is Rochester's leading professional theatre. It is the birthplace of many new and popular works such as Greg Coffin's Convenience and Five Course Love. It is among one of the few theatres that annually performs David De Berry and Richard Helleson's version of A Christmas Carol. Geva is an abbreviation of Genesee Valley Arts Foundation. Founded in 1972, Geva Theatre is now located at 75 Woodbury Boulevard in Rochester, New York.
