Wharton program gets young MI performers thinking of Broadway

Courtesy Wharton Center

If you know a kid who just can’t stop dancing, singing, and being slightly over dramatic, the Wharton Center might have something to better channel that theatrical energy.

Current State’s Jamie Paisley speaks with Kris Koop Oulette, the Associate Director of the Wharton Center’s MSUFCU Institute of Arts and Creativity.

Oulette uses her past career as a Broadway actress to put on a one-week long intensive training session for young thespians. It’s called “Take It From The Top,” and this Wharton Center program is been going on for seven years.
