This year a Christmas presentation, instead of a play, was a outstanding musical. Much like Yuletide Celebration, this was a fast moving, well preformed, one Christmas act after another. The voices of the starring performers were professional level An acrobatic scarf performer showed the beauty and her athletic ability during several different Christmas acts Upon entering the theatre, Santa greeted all with a harp ensemble. I saw several children on Santa's lapWe have attended Yule tide celebration for years but this performance rivaled it. With ticket prices under $50. Put this performance on your Christmas list, you won't be sorry you did.

You just gotta love the enthusiasm fo the actors and all the supporting crews. You can tell everybody is working out of love for the plays and not for the love of money. The plays are generally well done, fun and entertaining. The small venue guarantees a good view and accustic from any seat in the house. I suggest getting season tickets, they are such a bargain and give you entertainment year round. Snacks and drinks are also available here. Street parking may seem limited, however, there is a large private parking lot behind the building.

I so enjoyed seeing their young adults production of Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat! The performers were exceedingly talented, not just the leads but truly everyone. I got the impression from the program that a lot of the cast members are undergrad musical theater students who come home for the summer and get to perform with old friends at Footlite. I laughed out loud a lot. It was a great experience as my first live theater viewing since December 2019 because of the pandemic.There was a standard concession stand, clean bathrooms, generous intermission. Seats are comfortable, plenty of leg room. Parking was easy and free along Alabama Street.I think Indy is very lucky to have this stellar community theater, especially so close to downtown, and I hope others consider checking it out if they've never been. It's a great way to familiarize yourself with various productions for a much more affordable price than Broadway but not sacrificing much in the way of quality.

Wow! We came here to see the musical Something Rotten! And I will tell you one thing that is NOT rotten--the performance! My husband and I have both seen this before in professional settings with him seeing it in New York on Broadway. And this cast here at Footlite Musicals did not disappoint! The performance was top notch. The only thing that detracted from it was the sound system was having issues. But a.great musical carried out by great performers.

Great performance. But they must improve the sound system. The cast were amazing, better than we expected. But they were hampered by scratchy mics and poor speakers.

We went to see Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella! This place is so cozy and comfy and everyone is so nice! I really like the smaller size of the theater, it makes it so intimate... and you can see all the characters so well, even from the back! We had a Girl Scout group who were granted back stage access afterward and were SO grateful! These girls were in awe and had so many curious questions. It was so special for them to get to see things that most don't get to see, and meet the characters of the show. They have a rather small bathroom... but there was plenty of time for everyone to get through it during intermission. And they also had a small concession stand. Best of all, meet and greet of characters after the show, especially Cinderella and the Prince.. that kids are elated! Thank you for the super special experience!

Footlite is THE place for reasonably priced tickets at an intimate theater setting with great entertaining performances. The staff and volunteers are incredibly polite and dedicated too. They have popcorn, soda, and some candy snacks for sale before and after the show, and during intermission. There's a 21+ area where you can purchase beer and wine as well. The building itself is modest and unassuming. But just because there aren't a lot of frills doesn't mean that the stage area doesn't get the job done, because it does. The lighting is top notch, and the sound is crisp and clear. And there's not a bad seat in the house. Entire seating area is clear. No poles in the way like some theaters.So far, I've seen Hedwig and the Angry Inch and Bring It On, both because I had friends who were part of the casts. The talent they are able to secure is amazing. The staff really fosters the talent to ensure incredible performances. This is community theater at its best!

I had heard of Footlite on several occasions but never made time to buy tickets to a performance. I was not disappointed. First, ticket prices are very reasonable. My husband and I went to a Thursday evening performance and each ticket was $10. I believe tickets are $25/person on weekends. Either way, very affordable for great community theater. Our seats were towards the back on the theater, however, we could see everything. I'm unsure if there are bad seats. The entire building is well maintained. The lobby is very spacious and allows for mingling before doors open. There is a small concession stand and a bar, which serves Sun King beer and Barefoot Wine. Again, prices are very affordable and cards are accepted. I have been to other community theaters where cash is the only form of payment accepted. This is definitely a place to check out!

Confession time, I didn't know this place existed. Randomly got invited to a show by some friends and was happy for a new place to check out, and see a stage show! Located just outside of the Herron Morton neighborhood, it is a larger building, that is maintained beautifully. You also can't beat the ticket prices here, for only paying 23 dollars I was very impressed with the overall quality of my experience. The lobby area allows you to hang out before the show, and see what upcoming productions they have, there is also a cash bar with local beers and barefoot wine.Pricilla queen of the desert was amazing! All of the singers where so talented and I loved all the covers! The stage was created by some very talented people and all of the costumes were beautiful! I'll be back to check out some other shows just for variety! But I think the group does amazing work, I'm happy I discovered this location as another way to support the theater scene in Indianapolis
