At the Fringe

The Geriactors have been Rochester Fringe participants from its inception. Here's what we have done.

2012 at Geva's Fielding NextStage "We Were There"

Seven scenes depicting the effects of war on ordinary people drawn from personal and ancestral memories of current and former members of our troupe. The wars are: the Napoleonic Wars, the War of 1812, the US Civil War, World War I and the Russian Civil war, and World War II.
