It purchased the Grand Theatre in 1951 from ABC Cinemas and over the years has 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 performances. Lancaster Footlights & Grand Theatre (Registered Charity Number 1198714) started out as a thriving amateur drama group in the 1920’s and has always taken a professional approach to its work. People join our very active group for two main reasons, either in an acting or production support role or as a front of house volunteer to assist with the smooth running of the performances and see the wide range of shows. Footlights is an amateur group which owns and operates Lancaster Grand Theatre.
