Mercer University Theatre

                                                                                                                                   Mercer Theatre is open to all students with an interest in participating in the production of one or more plays during the academic year.  We usually mount four productions each year in our two theatre spaces, the Backdoor Theatre and the Grand Opera House.  Students are encouraged to take on responsibilities usually available only at the graduate level.  Qualified students have directed, designed sets, lights, costumes and makeup, and choreographed main stage productions.  Students have the opportunity to work with visiting professional artists regularly.  For more information, contact:
