This year’s new musical in development, In Emily’s Words tells the story of English novelist Emily Brontë as she is writing the beloved tale of troubled love, Wuthering Heights. This new musical explores her journey as a female writer in the 1840’s, battling illness and adversity, while crafting the sweeping story that has left a legacy nearly 200 years after her death. This new musical features Hamilton cast member Jonathan Christopher and more Broadway talent on the same stage with MSU musical theatre students and local high school actors.
In its ninth year, the 2022 ĭmáGen staged concert is a collaboration with the Wharton Center for Arts & Creativity supported by MSU Federal Credit Union and Michigan State University’s College of Arts & Letters’ Department of Theatre.

A Season of Community
-
Throughout the year, a diversity of voices and spectrum of representation will both challenge our intellectual and emotional responses to the social conditions in which we live and need to change and champion traditions that bind us together as neighbors making us stronger together. We hope you will consider becoming a season subscriber, so you won’t miss another production where MSU is building “Community.”
Michigan State University’s Department of Theatre has an outstanding history of producing plays that address critical social and cultural issues. From “In the Blood” to “Baltimore” to “Punk Rock,” MSU boldly embraces challenging theater.
