Event Reschedule Information

Zarna was scheduled to perform at the Rozsa last season but was forced to postpone her visit due to scheduling conflicts around her highly publicized new television series, currently in development. With Kaling International Inc. and Hartbeat Productions to executive produce, the series features Garg as a proud immigrant woman and mother searching for her own American Dream. The Rozsa is excited to feature Zarna during our 25th year participating in Michigan Tech’s Winter Carnival!

All 2024/25 ticket holders were contacted last season, and tickets were held in reserve for this season's performance date unless a refund was requested. If you have questions regarding your reserved ticket, please get in touch with the Rozsa Box Office by emailing rozsa@mtu.edu, calling 906-487-1906, or dropping by during regular Rozsa Box Office Hours.

The Rozsa Center for the Performing Arts cultivates a vibrant and connected community through experiences that bring the Keweenaw together. Located on Michigan Technological University's campus in Houghton, Michigan, the 80,000-square-foot arts center's design is inspired by the inclined look of the local copper mine hoists and shaft houses inside and out. Event spaces include the Rozsa Lobby, James and Margaret Black Performance Hall, Rozsa Backstage, Rozsa Art Galleries, and McArdle Theatre.

As the largest theater in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, the Rozsa dramatically expands the region’s access to large-scale performing arts events including Broadway tours, ballet, cirque, music, and more.
