4 A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD

Institutions start for a variety of reasons. Some never become a vital force in the community and eventually fade away. Others at some time in their life span take a giant leap forward and then proudly take their place among the other established Herbert L. Rees institutions in the community, state or nation. The opening of the new GeVa Theatre is this giant leap forward for the Genesee Valley Arts Foundation. This organization, which was started by William and Cynthia Mason Selden eleven years ago, has struggled and suNived over these years because of the dedication of many people. Now we take pride in believing we have come of age and can take our place alongside the other older, well established institutions in the community of Monroe. This theatre, occupying downtown space of historical significance, will have a major impact on the vitality of . The theatre has been designed to be technically excellent as well as aesthetically pleasing and will be considered one of the finest theatres of its size in all of the . This theatre has a versatile stage and will be available for use by other performing arts organizations in this area. This theatre, the dedicated staff, the hundreds of volunteers, and the Board of Directors form an institution that the community of Monroe should be proud to support. I and the rest of the Board of Directors are thankful for all of the past present and future support of GeVa. We will do everything in our power to make our dreams and those of our subscribers, Angels and residents of the community of Monroe come true.

A commitment the Computer Store serves today in almost every area of human endeavor. And whether poets or presidents, scientists or salespeople, managers or mechanics-those who turn to the Computer Store share a common insight. The realization that personal computers can be a comedy of errors without the expertise to put them to work precisely as you like it.

6 A MESSAGE FROM THE PRODUCING DIRECTOR

It has been a little over two years since I sat down to address you in the first of my stay here as GeVa Theatre's Producing Director. One of my promises was that you would, in the future, attend a "great performance in a first rate playhouse." What has happened has been nothing short of a miracle. Our path has lead us from the devastating news that our Clinton Avenue home would be lost, to the opening of one of the major resident professional theatre facilities in the country. Our footsteps have Howard J. Millman been guided by providence. It would be very easy for us to now sit back and bask in our success, but I am afraid that our celebration would then be very short-lived. Our new home, as beautiful as it will be, is only a structure. It is what takes place inside the home that is most important, and we are looking down the road to a creative and productive life in this new theatre. We are eagerly anticipating doing a greater variety of plays than has been possible, and bringing in actors, directors and designers of higher and higher quality. Above all, we know that the building of this institution called GeVa Theatre is not over ... it has just begun. We must keep vigilant, never relaxing the artistic standards and aspirations we have set for ourselves. The driving force behind our wonderful new building is to produce the best possible theatre we are capable ot and we know that ours will be a difficult future. But with aniticipation, with hope, and with excitement we will not deviate from the path that will make us all richer for the struggle. I take great pleasure in welcoming you to the new GeVa Theatre. I hope that fifty years from now we will be bringing our grandchildren to this theatre with the same joy and fulfillment that we all feel tonight.

25 EASY-LIFT GIVES MY SPIRITS A LIFT, TOO!

Congratulations "It got so I dreaded sitting down, because I knew it would be such a struggle to stand up. "Now, my EASY-LIFT"' chair eases me down to relax. When I'm ready to stand, I flick the & switch and the power cushion gently helps me to my feet. I don't have to ask someone for a hand, and I'm not as afraid of falling. "The chair plugs right into the same outlet as Best Wishes to my floor lamp. And, I chose upholstery that fits nicely with the rest of my furniture. "My EASY-LIFT is Medicare-approved, so I did not have to pay any cash in advance or GEVA fi ll out complicated forms. And that's a comfort, too."

Before you let arthritis, injury or disability keep you from standing on your own, try a comfortable EASY-LIFT cushion-lifting chair. Attractive styles, no special wiring, factory-approved service. Come in, or phone either store for a free house call.

35 As we leave the Sesquicentennial year behind us, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to all those who helped make it such a memorable year in Rochester history:

- to the Executive Committee and Board of Directors of Rochester Sesquicentennial, Inc. and the 35 dedicated committee chairpeople and the more than 3,000 volunteers who worked with them;

- to the City Council, the County Legislature, the Town Supervisors and Village Mayors for finanical support, commitment and encouragement;

- to the arts and cultural community for all the events, performances and exhibits which showed our spirit, our history and our rich supply of talent;

- to the business and industrial community for its financial help and enthusiastic backing, and especially to Eastman Kodak Co. for outstanding cooperation;

- to the News Media for excellent coverage and extraordmary assistance in helping us communicate with the community and to the Advertising Council and its members for outstanding work on promotion and publicity;

- to the neighborhoods for their marvelous historical exhibits and their wholehearted participation in our celebrations;

- to our friends from Sister Cities abroad and especially to all our friends and colleagues in Toronto and Kingston for giving such a grand international flavor to our activities;

- and finally, to the entire community for turning out in such numbers, for good-natured and enthusiastic participation from one New Year's Eve to the next and all the fabulous events in between.

You have all helped us plan and put on a series of celebrations worthy of this community. We have been drawn closer together. We have begun to achieve a greater sense of common purpose. We have learned more about our fascinating history and the men and women who helped shape what we are today. We have made a start on more effective and widespread use of our great water resources. And we face the next fifty years with optimism, confidence and hope.

For all this, we are grateful.

"At the center of 10 Canning Street, Hilton 392-3456 the play", says Kopit, " lies the myth that insists on the inherent goodness and altruism of Americans. Whatever we do is for the ultimate good of those to whom we do it because our greater moral strength and technical qualifica­ tions enable us to see further and deeper than primitive people." Present­ ing Buffalo Bill Cody as the archetypal American hero who personifies both America's good intention and its ulti­ mate corruption, Kopit designed a sur­ realistic wild west show portraying the ultimate victimization of the Indian as marketable show business property. Sincerely believing that he is helping the Indian by hiring them into the show, Cody, nonetheless, writes himself in as the hero of the piece, outsmarting the redskin and taming the frontier. Though the show is pure hype it eventually writes the history books, transforming the annihilation of a race into a paean to white courage and superiority. Yet Cody's fiction, his show, has eroded his soul, and the bodies of slain Indians now rise from the dead in grim counter­ point to the plastic saga he has manu­ factured. Cutting through the show's cowboy rhetoric comes the measured language of the Indian consenting to extinction rather than playing out the script the white man has handed him.

Like the circuses of Mcleish and Kopit, Thomas Babe's construction will be a wortd in and of itself, existing only in terms of the drama. Yet the stuff of his metaphor will be in th e forerunners of those small circuses that Babe had known as a reporter, those thirty to fifty small travelling shows that crisscrossed New York State between April and September in the year 1865. Hardly the gaudy extravaganzas of popular ima­ gination, they were one ring affairs that had by this timeworn out their welcome in the big cities of New York, Boston and Philadelphia.

70 Quality and innovation. Those have been cornerstones to the success of Eastman Kodak Company for more than a century. Quality and innovation in products, people, ideas . . .and the community. Kodak and its people have established a strong tradition of sharing their energy and financial resources to help make Roches­ ter a better place to live. Kodak knows that vibrant cultural and arts organizations enrich and enhance the community. In this tradition and spirit, Kodak is extremely pleased and proud to support GeVa, especially as this outstanding theatre group makes its debut in its new facility. One of the principles of Kodak's support for the arts and humanities is to seek innovative ways to make these opportunities available to as many people as possible. We believe the arts help forge a common bond among those in the community. This tenet of Kodak's giving also helps explain the breadth and reach of the company's contribution in Rochester and other major plant communities. This support includes museums, libraries, zoos, theatres, music schools, arts centers, orchestras, public television, arts councils and a variety of special projects. We salute GeVa for the major role it has played in the excellence and diversity of the arts in Rochester. We join you in supporting and encouraging its highquality and innovative efforts.

THE FOREIGNER by Larry Shue A boring Englishman finds himself in the back woods of Georgia and turns into a witty, rambunctious hero by disguising his identity as a foreigner who speaks no English. Through lessons in the language and attempts at communication he saves lives and livelihoods, even through an encounter with the Ku Klux Klan! This endearing, hilarious farce is still playing in New York City.
