Wharton Center, located in the heart of MSU's campus, at the corner of Bogue Street and Shaw Lane, was founded on the belief that art is a dimension of culture that should be shared with and made accessible to all. Wharton Center serves the community by bringing the best in touring Broadway, innovative dance companies, top classical musicians, and jazz artists to Mid-Michigan, as well as hosting performances by the MSU Department of Theatre, MSU College of Music, and the Lansing Symphony Orchestra.
Collaborations with campus and local partners allow us to bring a variety of innovative projects to life, such as music and dance masterclasses, and storytelling and improvisation workshops. In addition, Wharton Center offers numerous programs that educate and inspire more than 30,000 learners annually.
To enhance the academic journey of students and support our mission, Wharton Center provides internships and employment opportunities across various departments. We cultivate new connections with the student body through the efforts of the Wharton Center Student Marketing Organization, an MSU Registered Student Organization (RSO). Full-time MSU students enjoy access to the arts via discounted tickets, including $29 for most MSUFCU Broadway Series performances and $19 for most Performing Arts events.
