Alexander Kasser Theatre at Montclair State University
Montclair, NJ
Architect: The Hillier Group
Acoustics Consultant: Creative Acoustics
Theatre Consultant: Charles Cosler Theatre Design
Completion Date: 2004
This 500-seat, single balcony theatre was designed to serve the University's music and drama departments as well as touring professionals. Working closely with the faculty, staff and the design team Alec (as PM for Charles Cosler Theatre Design) helped to find the balance among the various constituents' needs and wishes. The result is a very intimate, acoustically adjustable auditorium with a full stagehouse to serve virtually any technical need that a 500-seat theatre could face. Alec left Charles Cosler Theatre Design to join FDA prior to the completion of construction.
