The opportunity of a lifetime with Wharton Center

Each year, Wharton Center presents the Sutton Foster Awards program, Michigan’s National High School Musical Theatre Awards contest. In 2022, Wharton Center made meaningful changes to the program that more than doubled the number of schools served in previous years. One of this year’s winners was Mark Bonney from the Detroit School of Arts.

Hear more about Mark’s journey, the Detroit School of Arts’ experience as a first-time participant of this program, and how Wharton Center is increasing access to life-changing performing arts opportunities for high schoolers across the state of Michigan.
