Show Synopsis:
The world’s greatest love story takes to the streets in this landmark
Broadway musical that is one of the theater’s finest accomplishments.
Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is transported to 1950's New York City, as two
young, idealistic lovers find themselves caught between warring street
gangs, the white Jets and the Puerto Rican Sharks. Their struggle
to survive in a world of hate, violence, and prejudice is one of the
most innovative, heart-wrenching, and relevant musical dramas of our
time.

About Us
Footlighters is a completely student-run group devoted to promoting musical theater at Case Western Reserve University, The Cleveland Institute of Art, and The Cleveland Institute of Music. Since 1998, the Footlighters have produced one show each semester in order to best serve the community. In the past, the Footlighters have performed Chicago, Sweeney Todd, Footloose, Beauty and the Beast, and the Northern Ohio Premiere of The Wild Party.
Footlighters gives students an opportunity to be involved in all aspects of theater production including directing, choreographing, working backstage, acting, playing in or directing the pit orchestra, constructing sets, making costumes, and publicizing the performances. Every aspect of the musical is done by a student. Each semester, over 1000 students, faculty, staff, and community members come together to watch the Footlighters take the stage!
