Venue Information

Performing arts theater in University Park, New Mexico The American Southwest Theatre Company was founded in 1984 by Dr. Bruce Streett and Tony Award-winning playwright Mark Medoff. Their purpose was to invite visiting Guest Artists to work alongside a Resident Company of theatre professionals to enrich the community and New Mexico State University's Department of Theatre Arts' students. ASTC's Resident Company members teach courses for the Department of Theatre Arts and lead the production of ASTC/NMSU's theatrical season while working professionally around the nation to forge valuable artistic connections. ASTC's visiting Guest Artists are funded solely by ASTC's Board of Trustees fundraising efforts and include professional artists who are in residence for specific productions.
