About Us
UpStage Theatre Company was created with a simple idea: theatre should be for everyone.
Founded in 2016, we set out to produce high-quality, affordable and inclusive shows while giving performers of all kinds the chance to step into the spotlight. We believe nobody should be priced out of taking part in theatre, which is why we work hard to keep our membership and ticket prices accessible for all.
Over the years, UpStage has grown into a thriving theatre company, known for its energetic productions, welcoming atmosphere and passionate performers. From spectacular pantomimes to special fundraising events, our shows bring together creativity, community and a lot of theatrical magic.
As we celebrate our 10th anniversary year, we’re proud of everything our company has achieved... and excited for the many productions still to come.
