About


Michigan State University’s Wharton Center for Performing Arts has a long
history of presenting quality programs.  Since opening its doors in 1982, the Center
has generated state and national prominence for its success with touring megahits and
sold-out sensations, making producers, performers and patrons turn their attention toward
mid-Michigan.

Wharton Center is Michigan’s largest performing arts venue
with four unique stages (the Cobb Great Hall, Pasant Theatre, MSU Concert Auditorium and
Fairchild Theatre) and plenty of things to do and see all season. Wharton Center is proud
to bring the best Broadway shows, the finest classical musicians, unrivaled dance
companies and an A-list of high profile performers to mid-Michigan.

We are
the leading presenting venue among Big 10 institutions and have the largest programming
schedule of any independent performing arts center affiliated with a university in the
country. Wharton Center is also recognized internationally for our world premier
commissions. The Center is fortunate to hire artists to create new works in jazz, dance,
and classical music that make a world debut at Wharton Center.
