In a residential area near Jamaica Pond, The Footlight Club, America's oldest community theatre, has performed every year since 1877. Once, wealthy aristocrats arrived in coaches to enjoy the society of their own kind in an atmosphere of gentility and wealth. The performances sometimes seemed secondary to the social function. Today the Footlight Club draws its membership from Jamaica Plain, other Boston neighborhoods and surrounding communities. The Footlight Club is a training ground for theater professionals from throughout the Boston area. While members never aspired to attain professional recognition, the club has been an innovative force in the Boston Theater scene.
