Featured Performance - Macbitches
GRCC Players Presents Macbitches by Sophie McIntosh
January 10-13
When freshmen acting major Hailey unexpectedly scores the coveted role of Lady Macbeth, her upperclassman rivals immediately invite her over to "celebrate." As the Fireball and Svedka flow, the young women interrogate their own ambitions as well as power structures that have shaped their education - and when the night spirals into violent shocking acts of betrayal, they come to learn that what's done cannot be undone.
Spectrum Theater Calendar
Spectrum Theater houses student group GRCC Players, as well as two community theater groups: Grand Rapids Actors' Theater and Jewish Theater GR.
Each year, GRCC-trained actors receive Grand Awards, given in recognition for outstanding community theater.
