Our Legacy

In addition to its full season of plays and musicals, The Footlight Club is committed to preserving Eliot Hall, a resource which is so much a part of its community. The Hall is undergoing a long-term renovation as its members and friends in the community return it to its former magnificence and improve safety and comfort for our members and patrons.
