Wharton Center – Pasant Theatre
MSU Campus
The smaller of the two stages at Wharton Center. 585 seats arranged around a thrust stage, which puts performers closer to the audience than a traditional proscenium setup. Hosts plays, musicals, comedy, MSU student productions, and the Young Playwrights Festival. Also reseated in 2018.
