Mission
The CWRU Footlighters is a group under University Media Board that is dedicated to bringing arts to the CWRU campus and giving students a creative outlet outside classes. To accomplish these goals, the club produces an entirely student-run and student-driven musical each semester. We have produced such big-name shows as Avenue Q, RENT, Sweeney Todd, Next to Normal, Spring Awakening, as well as lesser-known musicals such as Evil Dead: The Musical, Merrily We Roll Along, and The Wild Party. Each and every one of these shows is performed, directed, choreographed, built, and publicized entirely by students. Over the years, we have gained a reputation within both CWRU and University Circle as a whole, and we remain one of the most attended and prominent student groups on campus.

Membership Benefits
The CWRU Foootlighters aim to not only create beautiful musical productions, but to also foster a club community that is welcoming and accepting. Members of our club get to meet other theater makers, while also getting chances to attend exciting social events such as taking a trip for apple picking or even seeing shows at Playhouse Square!
