Who are the GRCC Players?
The GRCC Players are any students who participate in our theater productions either on-stage or behind the scenes. We pride ourselves on producing thought-provoking theater that challenges, educates, and entertains while giving our students the chance to gain experience in step of the process.
Students have the option to earn college credit by enrolling in one of our College Players courses while actively participating in GRCC Players productions throughout the year. You don’t have to register for credit to be involved, but if you’re enrolled in College Players, you’re automatically part of the GRCC Players community.
Each GRCC Players season features two faculty-directed main stage productions and one faculty-directed Lab Theater production. Students are involved in every aspect of production, from acting and assistant directing to building sets, running lights and sound, and much more.
No matter your experience level, there’s space for you to explore, create, and grow with the GRCC Players. The stage is set. All that’s missing is you.

Ever wondered what would happen if you took Bram Stoker’s legendary vampire tale and put it into a blender with Mel Brooks, Monty Python, and The 39 Steps? That’s just what happens in this lightning-fast, laugh-out-loud, 90-minute, gender-bending romp. When her sister Mina falls ill with a mysterious disease of the blood, Lucy Westfeldt and her fiancé, Jonathan Harker, enlist the help of famed female vampire hunter Doctor Jean Van Helsing. Their hunt for the dangerous and sexy Count Dracula abounds with clever wordplay and quick-change antics

Orion by Matthew McLachlan

Spectrum Theater, Lab Theater (Room 201)*
When Sam and Gwen's relationship comes to an abrupt end, Sam is guided through the wreckage with the help of his friends Scott and Abby to find his place in Gwen's life, while a part of Gwen may not be ready to let go of Sam either. Orion tells a story of love’s complexity at the start of our adult lives and those love relationships that end, but never really leave us. This play about relationships, far beyond an ordinary breakup drama, uses honesty, charm, and humor to dig deeply into the reasons why we love and make the sacrifices we do. The first full-length play of a rising star in the playwriting world, Matthew McLachlan provides a knockout debut in which fans of great contemporary plays are sure to love
Please note: This production is presented in Spectrum Theater’s Lab Theater, an intimate black box performance space with limited seating availability.
Winter/Spring 2026 Main Stage Production
CONTINUITY by Bess Wohl
April 9-11, 2026
7:30 p.m.
Spectrum Theater
It’s magic hour in the New Mexico desert as an exhausted film crew races against the setting sun to shoot their blockbuster (but artsy) action movie, which takes place on an arctic (Styrofoam) ice floe, and features an ecoterrorist plotting a bombing mission to save all of humankind (supposedly). As the clock ticks and the desert sun beats down on the not-so-frozen landscape, personalities clash, artistic vision meets Hollywood demands, and the gap between fiction and science grows wider than ever. A dark but hilarious “play in six takes,” CONTINUITY interrogates the role of storytelling in a world on the brink of actual environmental crisis.
