The Center for the Performing Arts at Penn State invites faculty members to submit proposals for ways to increase curricular engagement with the arts.

“There are charismatic people, and then there’s Michael Mwenso,” NPR said of the multi-genre artist and cultural historian. “The leader of Mwenso and The Shakes is full of energy, charm and most importantly, joy.”

While the search for a new director continues, Penn State College of Arts and Architecture Dean B. Stephen Carpenter II has appointed Center for the Performing Arts Assistant Director Lea Asbell-Swanger as interim director.

Multigenre artist and cultural historian Michael Mwenso will open his spring 2021 “Meeting the Moment” livestream series with a virtual visit from Urban Bush Women Co-artistic Director Samantha Speis. The free online event will start at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 27.
