Geva director closes 2001-02 Neilly Series

Cuddy

ith slides and music to set the scene, Geva Theatre's artistic director Mark Cuddy will discuss how new plays and musicals are born. His presentation at 4 p.m. Wednesday, April 3, in the Welles-Brown Room of Rush Rhees Library, which is free and open to the public, is the final lecture in this year's Neilly Series that brings prominent figures in the arts and sciences to campus.

Directing a wide range of plays, including this season's The Miser by Moliére and the upcoming revival of last year's Nextstage musical hit, Convenience, Cuddy has become well known for staging premieres, contemporary comedies, and, recently, musical theater. Before coming to Geva, Cuddy was artistic director of the Idaho Shakespeare Festival and Sacramento Theatre Company. In 1995, he was named Professional Artist of the Year by the California Educational Theatre Association for his innovative educational and outreach programming to new audiences. As an actor, he most recently played Vladimir in Waiting for Godot at Geva.

The Neilly Series is sponsored by the Andrew H. and Janet Dayton Neilly Endowed Fund of the University of Rochester River Campus Libraries. For more information, contact x5-4461.
