MANHATTAN (KSNT) – Twenty-four music, dance, theatre, comedy and family events will be held at K-State’s McCain Auditorium through to May 2024.
Certain artists will visit classrooms to connect with students in an informal setting. Several artists offer master classes, lectures and other activities to connect artists to the community, according to the McCain Performance Series Brochure.
