Join us for a preview screening of The Tower (2026)! Directed by Iowa-based filmmakers Philip Rabalais and Auden Lincoln-Vogel, The Tower is a feature-length fiction film woven from interconnected vignettes devised with untrained actors from Fairfield, Iowa. We welcome back the filmmakers for another campus screening at this special Broad Underground X MSU Film Collective event.

We’d love to see you at this event!

Broad Underground is an ongoing collaboration between the MSU Broad Art Museum and the MSU Film Studies Program that presents experimental film, video, and new media, and encourages conversation around the topics featured. The MSU Film Collective is a series run by the MSU Film Studies Program, where cinephiles gather weekly to discuss good films.

The Mockingbird Ensemble, composed of renowned musicians Danilo Mezzadri (flute), Susan Riggiero (soprano), and Brian Murphy (piano), will bring us the warmth of Mississippi to Michigan with a wonderful and varied program of music. The offerings span the time from 1740 with a work by Handel, “Sweet Bird”, a duet between a flute (the bird) and a soprano, to 2016 with a sonata in two movements by Mexican composer Samuel Zyman. The program also showcases varied musical styles including Samuel Barger’s Knoxville Summer of 1915 with music set to excerpts from a prose poem by James Agee to Debussy’s impressionistic piece, Reflets dans l’eau from Images, Book 1 (1905). Topping off an exotic evening is a work from the forests of the Amazon, Melodia Sentimental, by Heitor Villa-Lobos. This evening promises to be a worldwide adventure in music.

UURAF is Michigan State's premier showcase for undergraduate research, scholarship, and creative activity. Students have the opportunity to present their work in the form of a poster or oral presentation, or to showcase their creative works at the forum. The event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served and concessions will be available for purchase.

Bring the whole family to the MSU Broad Art Museum for a fun exploration of darkness and light! Discover how night and day shape the world around us through hands-on art activities. Learn how our eyes, bodies, and environments change after the sun goes down. And explore how bugs, plants, and animals use darkness (and light) to rest, adapt, and grow!

We’d love to see you at this event!

This event is part of the MSU Science Festival and takes place during International Dark Sky Week, a global celebration that encourages us to notice the night sky and reflect on the importance of darkness in our natural world. Activities are inspired by the exhibition Jan Tichy: Darkness, which invites visitors to think differently about night, natural cycles, and our connection to the world after dark. Darkness is on view Jan. 31–Jul. 26, 2026.

The Audio Air Force presents "WUTHERING HEIGHTS"

Wuthering Heights tells the turbulent tale of love, revenge, and family conflict centered on Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, spanning two generations on the Yorkshire moors. This classic novel has been made into movies over the years, the most current version is showing in theaters now. Back in 1939, to promote the movie's release, there was a network radio version presented. The Audio Air Force is using this original script to recreate the radio version of Wuthering Heights.

There will be two original audio features performed as well where we take a trip to Cliffordsville, a little town where just about anything can happen. We will also travel to London and meet a famous detective that lives on Baker Street. But not the one you think.

The performance will be live on stage, one night only

Hannah Community Center auditorium at 819 Abbott Rd, East Lansing

Island City Generations Theater Presents "Twinderella"

Island City Generations Theater is proud to announce our Spring show “Twinderella” directed by Teresa Hurd and Ted Wulfekuhler. This production includes a big cast of twenty-two children and five adults and is a fun family comedy that will tickle your funny bones!

The story goes like this…..Did you know that Cinderella (Makenzie Gilroy) has a long-lost twin brother named Bob (Ava Kikendall) living in the same kingdom with his own wicked stepfamily? The separated siblings have enlisted the services of the Fairy Godmother (Angela Gardner) the Godfather (Douglas Hoy) who states he "ain’t wearing no fairy wings", and two enchanted gerbils (Penelope Olejownik and Lucy Lopez) to help wile their way into the exclusive royal festivities of Wychwood-under-Ooze under the watchful eye of the Queen (Teresa Hurd) and to the confusion of the muddleheaded King (Frank Boston). Bob has his sights set on Prince Percy’s (Savannah Krupa) all-kingdom baseball game, while Cinderella eyes the birthday gala for Princess Petunia (August Mackie). When the two strangers disappear at midnight after Cinderella hits a game-winning homerun, the search is on to find the feet that fit the glass slipper and the muddy cleat!

Other cast members playing zany characters in this fractured fairy tale are, Canaan Nash, Bryan Chittle, Sophia Kirkpatrick, Olivia Martinez, Kaylynn Yergler, Jinx Jeffery, Annabelle Dashner, Ted Wulfekuhler, Rachel Wilkes, Adasyn Baxter, Christine Wilkes, Rose Phillips, Wyatt Turley, Ta’Kaiya Cox, Erica Richard and Erin Towsley.
