Out of the Rehearsal Hall

About Out of the Rehearsal Hall

From Geva Theatre Center in Rochester, New York, Out of the Rehearsal Hall takes a deep dive into the theatrical process. The third season celebrates courageous storytelling and our own power to make change, and to shape a better world for us all. The guests this season are artists, scholars and curators of content from around the country and right here in Rochester, the ancestral and occupied territory of the Onondowaga, or as we say in English, the Seneca People. Hosted by Literary Director Jenni Werner.

   Episode 3-7: Ginny Nguyen

   In this episode, we talk with Webster-resident Ginny Nguyen, who fled Vietnam with her family in 1975, and after several months in an Arkansas refugee camp, started a new life in Rochester. This story has been a source of inspiration for everyone involved in Geva’s production of Vietgone (https://gevatheatre.org/vietgone/), written by Qui Nguyen, whose parents met in that same refugee camp. Ginny’s re-telling of this journey, and of her father’s sense of honor and her family’s perseverance, is really remarkable.
