Melissa Rain Anderson, Ron DeStefano, Mary Jo McConnell, Jim Poulos, and Martin Vidnovic — the original Mainstage cast of Geva Theatre Center’s 2000 production of Gregg Coffin’s musical Convenience — will reprise their roles for a one-night-only concert on March 15. Mark Cuddy will direct, with musical direction by Don Kot.

In the show, a single mom and her estranged 26-year old son have news to break to each other, but neither can find the words — or the courage. Liz (McConnell) worries about telling Vince (Poulos) that she’s getting remarried; Vince is afraid of how Liz will react when he tells her that he’s gay.

The event celebrates Geva’s 25th anniversary in the historic Armory Building on the corner of Clinton Avenue and Woodbury Boulevard in Rochester, New York.
