150th Donation celebration


Nurturing Tomorrow’s Artists

As we celebrate our storied history, we're turning our attention to the future — and to the next generation of artists, storytellers, and creative technicians we can help shape.

That starts at home.

Eliot Hall should be a comfortable, safe, and welcoming place to learn, and we have the talent within our walls to make it happen.

We envision…

Apprenticeships
Workshops
Classes
Demonstrations for all ages
Children's dance classes
Acting workshops for BIPOC communities
Creative leadership training
Design internships

We are a microcosm of the theater world, and we want to open our doors to anyone who wants to be part of it.

But we need your help to get there.

The Footlight Club is ready to train the next generation of theater-makers — and make those opportunities accessible to everyone.

That only happens with the support of our Footlight Community.

Your investment funds the programs that keep us at the forefront of community theater nationwide — and ensures that the future of this art form has a home right here.

We have made it as easy as possible for you to help support our vision. Visit our donations page to make a tax deductible donation.

We will also be reaching out to businesses and organizations in the Boston area to gather sponsorships. We wanted to see the community support from Jamaica Plain and beyond grow during our 150th year.

Please take a look at our sponsorship options and join us in making our next 150 years as impactful as our first!

Join the Celebration!

From the glamour of our October gala to the community warmth of our summer BBQ, the 150th season is a tribute to everyone who has ever stepped onto our stage, worked behind the scenes, of applauded from the audience. We can’t wait to celebrate a century and a half of storytelling with you!
