Pass A Good Time: America 250!

Sunday, October 4, 2026

Cook Recital Hall

3:00 pm

Tickets go on sale to the public beginning August 19

Led by bass-baritone Marc Embree, this annual event returns with a spirited program celebrating America’s semiquincentennial. Joined by mezzo-soprano Jane Bunnell, fellow MSU artists, and guests Cynthia Clarey and Steven Mosteller, the recital traces a musical theatre journey through American history, featuring selections from 1776, Oklahoma!, Fiorello!, Bloomer Girl, and more, with connections to the Tin Pan Alley tradition. Cake & cookies will be served!
