Wharton Center, Michigan’s largest presenter of performing arts, is located on the campus of Michigan State University and offers more than fifty attractions each year. Whether you enjoy the best in Broadway shows, dance, classic music, or jazz, it can be found at Wharton Center. Open captioning is a service at Wharton Center for people with hearing loss that uses a text display to provide a simultaneous translation of dialogue and lyrics during a live performance, as well as a description of sound effects on stage. The service is open to everyone for viewing in a designated seating area without any special equipment needed by the audience member.
