Stanford Memorial Auditorium

Stanford Memorial Auditorium is a performance venue in Mediterranean Revival style located on Stanford University's campus in California. Inside, it features a proscenium stage with orchestra pit, seating across two levels, and multiple backstage dressing areas to support theatrical and musical productions.

Architect Arthur Brown Jr. designed this building in the early 20th century as Stanford University's primary performance venue. It has served the campus as a center for music, theater, and dance activities since its completion.

The venue brings together students, faculty, and visitors for theatrical productions, concerts, and dance performances that form the heart of campus artistic life. These events create moments where the university community shares creative experiences and celebrates performance together.

The venue is easy to find on campus and provides accessible entrances for visitors with mobility needs and nearby parking options. Plan to arrive early for popular events, as the seating fills quickly during peak performance times.

Behind the stage sits a substantial backstage area where performers prepare before going on, equipped with modern sound technology to support quality productions. This space allows musicians and actors to work with professional-grade equipment and comfortable preparation areas.
