Ring of Fire: The Music of Johnny Cash Geva Outdoors

Going City-Way? Check This Out!

Rochester, N.Y., July 6, 2021 – After 16 months of darkened stages, Geva Theatre Center announces its return to live, in-person theatre with its first-ever outdoor production, Ring of Fire: The Music of Johnny Cash. Performances will take place on the custom-built Six-String Bandstand, sponsored by Excellus BlueCross BlueShield, which will be located directly behind the theatre building.

Ring of Fire will feature a cast of six multi-instrumentalist actors paying homage to the legendary Man in Black as they lead audiences on a crowd-pleasing ride through Johnny Cash’s gritty life story. The rowdy jukebox musical includes more than two-dozen Cash classics, including “I Walk the Line,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” “I’ve Been Everywhere,” and of course, “Ring of Fire.”

“Over the course of the pandemic, Geva has explored so many ways of creating theatre that were new to us. We learned a lot, but we really missed the live experience of being with people. It will be a joy to welcome audiences back in person with this celebration of the universally beloved artist Johnny Cash. We cannot wait to see all those faces in the audience enjoying a special summertime experience!” said Geva Artistic Director Mark Cuddy.

Ring of Fire: The Music of Johnny Cash was created by Richard Maltby, Jr., conceived by William Meade, and adapted from the Broadway production by Richard Maltby, Jr. and Jason Edward. The artistic team includes actors Margaret Dudasik, Damon Gillespie, Déa Julien, Adrian Lopez, Sky Seals, and Sam Sherwood, along with Cuddy (director), Rasean Davonte Johnson (projection designer), Shoko Kambara (scenic designer), Christina Selian (costume designer), Andrew Mark Wilhelm (sound designer), Derek Madonia (lighting designer), Katherine Thesing (stage manager), Nolan Todd (assistant stage manager), Jenni Werner (literary director/co-dramaturg), and Fran Da Silveira (co-dramaturg).

This production is included as part of Geva’s 2020-2021 season. Tickets for the general public are now on sale and may be purchased online at gevatheatre.org<https://gevatheatre.org/> or by calling the Geva Box Office at 585-232-4382. Based on current state and federal guidelines, masking will not be required for this outdoor production, and physical distancing will not be mandated. However, unvaccinated guests are strongly encouraged to wear masks. All policies are subject to change based on public health guidelines.
Since Geva’s 2014-2015 Season, ESL Federal Credit Union has sponsored the Wilson Stage Series, along with the Fielding Stage Series in recent years. In its 100th year, ESL continues its commitment as the Presenting Sponsor for the Geva Theatre Center 2020-2021 Season. Dr. Dawn Lipson serves as Honorary Season Producer.
