About the Theatre

The Center Stage

Mary Moody Northen Theatre (MMNT) stands at the center of our Department of Performing Arts theater training program and operates on a professional model. 

Our program requires students to learn all facets of theatrical production and demands the highest level of commitment and craft in their work. Through MMNT productions, students have the opportunity to work alongside professional guest designers, directors and actors. 

A Rare Undergraduate Theater Arts Program Design

St. Edward's University is home to one of the finest Theater Arts programs in the region and to one of the nation's few undergraduate-only programs incorporating a full season of productions in agreement with the Actors' Equity Association — the union of professional actors and stage managers in the United States. MMNT is a Theatre Communications Group (TCG) Member Theatre.
