ABOUT THE VENUE
McFarlin Memorial Auditorium is a proscenium-style theatre located on the campus of Southern Methodist University. The venue seats 2,386 on three levels. The building is the third oldest on SMU’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 SMU President Charles Selecman as “a place where we can have our friends from the community and elsewhere gather together on great occasions.”
