Tom Stoppard’s post-modern adaptation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet focuses on two minor characters from the original text, Hamlet’s childhood friends Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. The audience follows this doomed pair as they wander in and out of the main events of the original play, all while contemplating life and its complexities.

Performance Studio Series
Grand Valley students hone their skills in all aspects of theatre production. Our P.S. Series productions are fully staged performances directed, designed, produced, and performed by Grand Valley students.
Two productions were chosen for the 2021-2022 season:
The Most Massive Woman Wins
by Madeleine George
Directed by Isabella Gielniak
In a liposuction waiting room, four women of various sizes reflect on their body-image issues through the use of monologues, short scenes, and childhood rhymes. Through revelations about romantic partners and societal standards, this dark comedy shapes the way these women view themselves.
Welcome to Paradise
by Julie Marino
Directed by Tay Shull
Welcome to Paradise is a play about two kindred souls finding a family in each other despite societal norms and pressure from "family".
