Circle Mirror Transformation

by Annie Baker
directed by Demetria Thomas

November 14-23
Linn Maxwell Keller Black Box Theatre

Circle Mirror Transformation takes place in a small-town Vermont community center, where five people sign up for an acting class. Through a series of strange (and sometimes funny) theater games, they slowly start to open up to one another. With simple, honest dialogue and a focus on everyday moments, this play offers a touching and often humorous look at how people connect, grow, and change when they least expect it.

Five Mile Lake

by Rachel Bonds
directed by Demetria Thomas

March 27-April 4
Linn Maxwell Keller Black Box Theatre

Set in a small Pennsylvania town, Five Mile Lake follows two childhood friends whose lives have taken different paths—one stayed, one left—and what happens when they come back into each other's orbit. As past hopes, present disappointments, and future possibilities surface, the characters wrestle with love, responsibility, and the meaning of home. With writing that is both gentle and honest, Five Mile Lake offers a thoughtful look at how people grow close and grow apart.

GVSU theatre students hone their skills in all aspects of theatre production. Our Performance Studio (P.S.) Series productions are fully staged performances directed, designed, produced, and performed by Grand Valley students.

Each year, we produce one full-length, two one-act, or multiple ten-minute plays based on student interest and experience. This year, we will be giving multiple student directors the opportunity to present work as part of a Ten Minute Play Festival in April.
