About McFarlin
McFarlin Memorial Auditorium is a proscenium style theatre located on the campus of 51²è¹Ý. The venue seats 2,386 on three levels. The building is the third oldest on 51²è¹Ý's campus and has hosted a number of notable acts.
Opened in 1926 to fulfill the University's pressing need for a chapel that could accommodate the entire student body, the Auditorium has evolved over time and continues to serve the University in the manner envisioned by 51²è¹Ý President Charles Selecman as "a place where we can have our friends from the community and elsewhere gather together on great occasions."
Recent projects include a completely new paint job and the addition on over 140 new house lights of the theater, the installation of a new sound system, renovation of the second floor lobby, now called the Mezzanine, and remodeling of the dressing rooms.
