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 2022-2023 season:
Love and Warcraft
by Madhuri Shekar
directed by Anna Compton
Evie Malone - gamer girl, college senior and confirmed virgin - has it all figured out. Not only does she command a top-ranked guild in Warcraft with her online boyfriend, she also makes a little cash on the side writing love letters for people who've screwed up their relationships. Love is like Warcraft, after all.
February 2-5, 2023 in the Linn Maxwell Keller Black Box Theatre
Tickets will go on sale two weeks prior to opening night.
Pony Up
by Mallory Jane Weiss
directed by Bella Gielniak
A Wild West: A world where men ride horses and women ride bicycles. A world that is changed forever when Ruthie’s husband, Jack (biggest pistol in town), wins three larger-than-life stallions in an auction. Hell-bent on riding the stallions, Ruthie finds herself enticed by Rooster and Pearl, two women with their eyes set on the horizon line, on a place impossible to reach by bicycle. With the help from a forward-thinking heifer (yes, a cow), the women discover the kind of strength female friendship can inspire. And ultimately, they try to find a place all their own.
