Established in 1877
The Footlight Club is America’s oldest community theater and has produced performances every year since 1877. The Footlight Club’s members have sustained the organization's mission:
To present the best in non-professional theater to a broad-based audience, and to preserve and maintain Eliot Hall as a community resource.

Community
Throughout its long history The Footlight Club has been part of the cultural fabric of Jamaica Plain and surrounding neighborhoods. We welcome the opportunity to partner with local businesses and nonprofit organizations whenever possible.

“Once More, You Are Heartily Welcome”
A dark comedy that is both funny and frightening, this psychological drama is a thinking person's Gothic thriller.
A stand up comedy show for the people who march and the people who would if they could only find a babysitter.

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.
