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!

The purpose is to feature speakers that have a strong perspective and have done enough research in their topic to be a credible speaker.

One of the University Media Board's newer organizations, Studio 300 (often stylized "STUDIO300") is a film production club run entirely by CWRU students. We focus on three types of video content: short films, campus life videos, and collaborations with CWRU organizations and/or local groups. Studio 300 was created as a space for students to gain experience with filmmaking in all of its stages -- from brainstorming ideas, to planning the logistics of a shoot, to bringing the script to life behind (or in front of) the camera! Because we aim to provide a hands-on learning experience, students of all skill levels are welcome to get involved.

If you are interested in joining us (or have any questions), please email Macin Sheeder at studio300@case.edu.

If your group is interested in making a video with us, please fill out the Collaboration Request form on our website.

Membership Benefits
Access to Studio 300 equipment such as cameras, lights, microphones. Access to UMB Office and UMB Design Bay computers, which have Adobe Creative Cloud applications such as Premiere Pro video editing software. Free merchandise such as t-shirts. Food provided for some meetings and all shoots.

Mission
The Athenian first began in the year 2000, started by a couple undergraduates who thought they were funnier than everybody else. Since the early days, The Athenian has grown into a publication featuring satire, comics, anecdotal humor, silly humor, black humor, irony, self-depreciation, and spelling errors. The Athenian is so named because the Case Western Reserve University mascot is the “Spartans”, and thus, being the smart asses we are, we chose the name of one of Sparta’s rival cities from back in the day. We’re The Athenian, we’re CWRU’s official student humor magazine, and we’re proud keep making people laugh (or at least smirk a little) since 2000.

Membership Benefits
You can join us in our mission to spread humor across campus.
