Upcoming Events

In celebration of the college’s founding, Muskegon Community College’s Center for Theater will be presenting a one-night-only Radio Play adaptation of Agatha Christie’s 1926 novel The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, on Saturday, October 25, 2025 at 7:30pm in the Large Ensemble Room of the Art & Music Building.

Agatha Christie’s most famous and audacious mystery. It’s a cornerstone of crime fiction that was voted the “Best Crime Novel of all Time” by the British Crime Writers’ Association. When Roger Ackroyd is brutally murdered, Poirot is called out of retirement to solve the case. The truth he uncovers will shock even the most imaginative of gossips, leaving you to question everything you thought you knew about detective stories. Prepare for a legendary twist you’ll never see coming.

Muskegon Community College’s Center for Theater continues its “Centennial Season” with a provocative play based in the 1920s called, These Shining Lives, by Melanie Marnich, playing November 6-9, 2025 at the Overbrook Theater.

Based on the true story of four women who worked for the Radium Dial Company, a watch factory based in Ottawa, Illinois, These Shining Lives showcases the danger women faced, while highlighting the wider lack of concern companies had for protecting the health of their employees.
