Michigan's largest and most diverse presenter of performing arts
Wharton Center is Michigan’s largest presenter of performing arts with four unique stages (Cobb Great Hall, Pasant Theatre, MSU Concert Auditorium and Fairchild Theatre) all found on the campus of Michigan State University.
Wharton Center is proud to present the best Broadway shows, the finest classical musicians, unrivaled dance companies and an A-list of high profile performers to mid-Michigan. The goal is to diversify Wharton Center’s programs so the audience reflects the diversity seen on stage. The Center even created a student public relations and marketing team to help reach younger audiences who may want to take advantage of student pricing which is $25.00 to most MSU Federal Credit Union Broadway at Wharton Center attractions and $15.00 to most Performing Arts Series Attractions.
The New MSU Federal Credit Union Institute for Arts & Creativity at Wharton Center provides participatory learning programs both at the Center and throughout the state for audience of all ages.
