Founded in 1989, Edinburgh University Footlights is a student-run musical theatre group that produces three large scale productions every year. 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’’. Recent five star shows have included Grease (2025), 9 to 5 (2025), and Guys and Dolls (2024).
