McFarlin Memorial Auditorium is a proscenium style theatre located on the campus of Southern Methodist University.
Financing was secured by a generous donation from devout Methodist and San Antonio businessman Robert M. McFarlin.
The McFarlin Memorial Auditorium was opened in 1926 to fulfill the University's pressing need for a chapel that could accommodate the entire student body.
The building 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."
Recent projects include restoration of the main lobby to its historic integrity, renovation of restrooms, installation of a sprung floor on stage, and a complete reupholster of the auditorium's seats.
