Owned and operated by Montclair State University, the Alexander Kasser Theater is a contemporary performance venue that presents student dramas and music and dance performances. Designed in the Spanish mission style similar to that of the University's historic buildings, the modern, intimate venue boasts a sweeping plaza and broad, arcaded loggia.

Guests enter into a 4,600 square foot lobby with gallery and exhibition space and an elegant grand staircase, which flows into the heart of the theater – the beautiful 500-seat auditorium.

Featuring an oversized stage, orchestra pit, and state-of-the-art technical characteristics, the auditorium has outstanding acoustics, as well a variety of extra rooms and suites, including scenery/props construction shop, a makeup and wardrobe room, an electric shop and control room, and a guest artist suite. The theater is also home to a recording studio, green room, and the unique Harry Parch Institute.
