7A Series
The 7A Black Box program allows the Footlight to open up its Parker Room to members (or member-sponsored guests) for the purpose of putting on smaller or more experimental shows, new work, staged readings, cabarets, stand-up comedy, and other reimaginings of theatrical productions. It's express purpose is to:
Expand the theatrical offerings the Footlight Club has to offer
Create a venue for smaller shows, more experimental shows, new work, staged readings, cabarets, stand-up comedy, and other reimaginings of theatrical productions
Create more opportunities for BIPOC playwrights and directors to mount productions
Build an audience of members and non-members alike who seek theater that is more adventurous, thought-provoking, or otherwise not as suited for mainstage productions.
If you're interested in submitting a show to our 7A Black Box Program please fill out this form.

Producing a 7A Show
A Footlight Club member can request approval to produce/direct a 7A show by contacting the Productions Director. If the Productions Director approves the request (based on calendar availability and Footlight guidelines) he/she will have the show dates added to the calendar. Shows are produced on a first come/first serve basis, and must fit in with the already scheduled calendar events for the Parker Room.
7A shows run for one weekend (Thursday through Sunday, maximum) and MUST be struck no later than that Sunday. Initial notification of ticket availability should go to the FLC MEMBERSHIP, by email and posting on the website, a minimum of TWO WEEKS before reservations are made available to the public.
In matters of costumes, materials, actors and other resources, mainstage shows take precedence. Mainstage shows and pre-existing rentals are under no obligation to adjust their schedules to accommodate 7A shows.
For full information and guidelines regarding producing a 7A show, please contact the Productions Director.
