We were just to Geva last night and as usual the actors were very professional, the stage decorated well and our seats great. Every seat is no more than 150 feet from the stage. The sound system is great so every word can be heard. The play was Slow Food. The theatre has a bar and light dinners. This is a gem for Rochester

Beautiful venue. I have been to many productions and recitals here. A great place for students to show off their talents and their semester-long hard work.

I found the staff very friendly and helpful. The seating allows a great view of the stage and gives it a more intimate atmosphere at the concert we saw. Lots of room to move around. Didnt like being hoarded towards the stairwell by one usher, as he caused overcrowding going down the stairwell, which wasn't necessary. Easy to get to and lots of parking.
