At the beginning of 2000, the Augustana Theatre Co. celebrated the opening of it's new theatre facility in the Edith Mortenson center.  CLICK HERE to take a full tour of the facility.  Professionals and devoted patrons alike agree that Augustana's theatre facilities provide excellent and competitive professional and educational preparation.

The theatre seats 280 people in a thrust stage configuration.  This is a very unique theatre, featuring some of the best, most flexible staging opportunities we've ever seen.  Actors can virtually appear from every part of the theatre.

An upper acting deck (like a balcony) encircles the entire playing space and audience. There is also a vomitorium that will allow actors to exit under the seating. An extensive catwalk system also provides many lighting and special effects that have never been possible in Augie's long theatre history.

In addition to the theatre, there is an acting studio for classes and small-scale productions. This fully-outfitted black-box theatre also has a wall of mirrors for dance and actor training.  A large scene shop is attached to the back end of the stage and a bright, sunny costume shop with dye room is located across the lobby from the theatre.

On the lower level there are men's and women's dressing rooms with restrooms & showers. AND a community make-up room!
