OUR MISSION:
We are dedicated to the child performer, instilling a love of theatre while building community.
Whether a child is in character -- or developing his or her character for life -- our goal is to build character in your child. With live theatre, no matter what happens, the show must go on. We help the cast and crew push past obstacles to perform their best.
Performing for a live audience develops strong teamwork and leadership skills. UpStage Players also offers leadership opportunities through a cooperative partnership with the Kiwanis Builder's Club.
At UpStage, every child is included. Our No Cut Policy ensures EVERY CHILD has an opportunity to take the stage.

UpStage welcomes Amanda Zmecek, a graphic design student at Walsh University, as an intern to oversee the design of the program book for the spring 2023 production of Matilda Jr.
Amanda graduates this May with a Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design and two minors in Communication and Art. After graduation, she hopes to land a graphic design/marketing position close to home. Amanda is from Parma, Ohio.
“There are so many possibilities with the degree,” Amanda said. “I am also hoping to get back into acting at a local theater since I have missed that at college. Overall, I'm excited to spread joy in my life through the arts.”
We are thrilled to have you on board, Amanda!
