Sanders Theatre

Sanders Theatre is the 1,000-seat hall inside Memorial Hall, finished in 1878 and lined in red oak. The seats wrap 180 degrees around the stage, so you sit close to the players. The design follows Christopher Wren’s Sheldonian Theatre at Oxford, and the hall is famous for its acoustics. Winston Churchill, Theodore Roosevelt, and Martin Luther King, Jr. have taken the lectern in this room. It is a member of the League of Historic American Theatres.

The hall is at 45 Quincy Street in Harvard Square. On October 24 the Harvard Callbacks, an all-gender a cappella group, mark 40 years with Still On The Line. Current singers and alumni share the stage that night.
