GRCC Craft Brewing Program Featured in People.com

Grand Rapids Community College’s Craft Brewing program is receiving national attention. A recent  People.com feature highlights how students gain hands-on experience by creating and serving their own beer through Fountain Hill Brewery, GRCC’s student-run taproom. The article showcases the program’s immersive learning model, where students are involved in every step of the brewing process — from recipe development to serving customers during weekly taproom hours. This real-world experience helps prepare students for careers across the craft brewing industry. It also notes the program’s broader impact, including alumni success in West Michigan’s brewing scene and the way taproom proceeds support student scholarships. This national recognition reinforces the strength of GRCC’s hands-on programs and the meaningful, career-ready experiences our students are gaining every day.

GRCC Players’ CONTINUITY Is a Call to Action on Climate Change

April 2, 2026 Grand Rapids Community College’s GRCC Players will perform CONTINUITY , a production highlighting the gap between art and science and the role of storytelling in our current environmental crisis. CONTINUITY tells the story of Maria, an independent film writer and director whose script on climate change has been picked up by a Hollywood studio for a feature film production. What starts as an earnest film about climate change turns into a blockbuster action movie taking place on an arctic (styrofoam) ice floe, and features an ecoterrorist plotting a bombing mission to save all of humankind (supposedly). “We selected this show because of its catty humor, metacommentary on the friction between art and business and the larger debate it initiates about the climate in the real world.” said Jason Flannery, GRCC theater instructor. “A benefit of the play is its unadorned look at our current environmental situation, with no alteration to make the story ‘satisfying’ or ‘narratively sound.’ The truth is the truth, and bending it to fit a prescribed story is a disservice to all.” CONTINUITY has prompted a wide array of responses within the GRCC Theater department; some bleak, some hopeful, some mixed. “I hope this production works like a call to action,” said Kayden Bravata, playing the role of Hollywood writer (and Maria’s ex), David Caxton. “I’d like the audience to come away with a new understanding of media portrayal on important topics, like climate change.” Kiera Zittel, who plays Maria, says being a part of this production has motivated her to create more spaces for creativity and collaboration. “Theather is a great source of community. I hope people walk out with realization that awareness without action is ultimately passivity. We all have a choice every day to work towards a better tomorrow.” Information and Tickets April 9-11, 2026  7:30 p.m. Spectrum Theater, Main Stage $18  General Admission |  $12  GRCC Faculty and Staff | $5  GRCC Student  Directed by Jason Flannery Stage Manager -  Rhonda Lehan Assistant Stage Manager -  Benjamin Dixon CAST  Maria - Kiera Zittel David - Kayden Bravata Nicole - Sevi Cullum Jake - Ian Santoyo Lily - Madina Nalwanga Larry - Santiago Mejia PA - Jason Perez-Velasquez 1st AD - Lauren Hambelton 2nd AD - Sara Brock Camera Op - Jacob Creager Sound Guy - Kyle Jackson 2nd PA - Sam Temple Tickets: grcctheater.ludus.com or call (616) 234-3946.
