DESCRIPTION
Founded in 1989, Edinburgh University Footlights is a student-run musical theatre group that annually produces one of the largest scale production of the University's theatrical calendar and a multi-talented showchoir.
Over the years, Footlights has gone from strength to strength, with The Edinburgh Evening News dubbing the society "one of the most respected theatre groups in Britain". Each year, Footlights strives to achieve its core values of professionalism, being welcoming and providing a safe and enjoyable creative space for its members. In the words of The Edinburgh Guide (2018), Footlights truly provides "professional productions at an amateur price".
Footlights aims to give its entire cast and crew as professional an experience as possible while providing an accessible and affordable performance for the student body as well as the Edinburgh community at large.
Footlights' founders identified a gap in the creative output of student theatre at Edinburgh University and a need for a society specifically geared towards performing modern, full scale musicals, as well as providing a creative outlet for those passionate about performing and theatre through our Showchoir.
The society provides an excellent ground for not only talented performers to work on, but also those who are more inclined toward the technical aspects of the show, band and much more.
