What's new in local and national theater? Geva has several answers to that question in its annual Festival of New Theatre, beginning Wednesday night and running through October 23. Highlights include the reading of a new play about two great Rochesterians, Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony, and the opportunity to discuss the plays with their authors after each performance. All readings begin at 7 p.m. at Geva's Fielding Stage, unless otherwise noted.
Wednesday, October 12, and Saturday, October 15: "The Agitators: The Story of Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass" by Mat Smart. Directed by Valerie Curtis-Newton.
Friday, October 14: "Fiedler's Choice" by David Andreatta. Directed by Jean Gordon Ryon.
