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 Heathers, RENT, Sweeney Todd, Next to Normal, Anastasia, 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, produced, 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!

Joining this group requires an email ending in ".EDU".

Mission
In keeping with CWRU's commitment to give back to the community, Doc Opera is a fundraising event for CWRU's Student Run Health Clinic. Our mission is to raise money for the program to provide quality healthcare and related services to those in our local community who lack adequate access or means.

Our secondary mission is to provide a venue for creative expression and interprofessionalism among the medical community and health professional students of Cleveland. Due to increasing popularity, attendance in recent years has reached over 1,000 guests per show, enabling us to donate tens of thousands of dollars to the Student Run Health Clinic. Doc Opera is a non-profit organization that relies on area businesses to help us defray the costs of production and to contribute to the annual donation we make to the Free Clinic. We are grateful for the donations and support we have received from many diverse businesses in various neighborhoods throughout the Cleveland area.
