Gaieties 2026

Since 1911

Stanford's Oldest Theatrical Society

On September 13, 1911, seven students and three faculty members gathered to form a drama society. On the wall hung the stuffed head of a ram. Two months later, the first Gaieties was performed during Big Game week—and one of Stanford’s oldest traditions was born.

Today, Ram’s Head produces three shows per year involving over 120 students and drawing more than 6,000 audience members. Every production is entirely student-directed, student-produced, and student-performed.
