Geva's World Premiere of THE ROAD TO WHERE Begins Tonight

Geva Theatre Center's 2015 Fielding Studio Series concludes with the world premiere of The Road to Where by Cass Morgan, directed by Mark Cuddy. The production begins performances tonight, April 23 and runs in the Fielding Nextstage through May 10.

With the help of three talented musicians, Broadway veteran and writer Cass Morgan searches for her roots in The Road to Where. A trip to the West of Ireland sparks memories of her childhood in Rochester, her growing up in a Florida trailer park, and a need to reconcile with her parents in an enchanting evening of story and song.

Cass Morgan's Broadway credits include The Bridges of Madison County, Memphis, Mary Poppins, Ring of Fire, Beauty and the Beast, The Capeman, The Human Comedy, Pump Boys and Dinettes (co-creator) and Hair. Off-Broadway credits include The Immigrant, Floyd Collins and Violet. Regionally, Ms. Morgan has appeared in 1776, Picnic, The Bridges of Madison County (Williamstown), Uncle Vanya, Saint- Ex (Weston Playhouse), The Music Man (Geva),Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas (Goodspeed), Cabaret, Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, Das Barbecue (Baltimore Centre Stage) and Children Of Eden (Mill Mountain Playhouse). She is thrilled to be back at Geva, this time as both actor and writer.

Ms. Morgan leads a cast which includes Megan Loomis (North American and Asian tours of War Horse, Cabaret and Sweeney Todd), herself a Rochester native and Eastman School of Music alumna; Ben Meixell and Eli Zoller (Broadway's Violet and First Date: The Musical).

The Road to Where is directed by Mark Cuddy, with musical direction by Steven M. Alper. The creative team includes Matthew Reinert (Scenic Design), Christina Selian (Costume Design), Derek Madonia (Lighting Design) and Ian Hildreth (Sound Design).

The Road to Where begins performances on April 23 and runs in the Fielding Nextstage through May 10.
