We are always looking for new faces and fresh ideas and talents.

Auditions for our performances are advertised on this web site, in our monthly newsletter and on Facebook. In addition to performances in the Grand Theatre, “Studio Footlights” also stages productions from time to time at local smaller venues so the range of productions is very wide with the aim of staging something to appeal to every taste. Acting and back stage supportįootlights currently produces four plays each year in the Grand Theatre including a traditional Christmas pantomime and a “family production” in the June, both specifically aimed at family enjoyment.
FOOTLIGHT BAR PROFESSIONAL
We currently employ an Operations Support Team of three paid staff who manage the programme and market all the community and professional acts, many of which involve nationally known names. The theatre is held under a trust arrangement under charity number 1198714 named “Lancaster Footlights & Grand Theatre” which is an Incorporated Charitable Organisation (CIO). They purchased the theatre in 1951 from ABC Cinemas and over the years have evolved from solely an amateur theatre group to one which now hosts a wide range of both community and professional shows, still producing its own high quality theatrical performances.

Lancaster Footlights was founded as a thriving amateur drama group in the 1920’s and has always taken a professional approach to its work.
