The Upstagers is a non-profit, all volunteer organization.  We are always looking for more volunteers to be actors, stage crew, house crew, and administration.  If you don't have the time to devote several weeks in the production of a show, there are still things you can do to be a part of the Upstagers and "Live" theatre.

Upcoming Shows

"There's a Burglar in My Bed" (Comedy)-June 20, 21, 27 28
William Worthington III and his wife, Ashley, are both going to be away for the weekend from their 200 acre estate with the 20 bedroom mansion.  Both, in fact, have arranged weekend trysts with their respective lovers in the estate's beach cottage.  With divorce in the air, each arranges for a burglar to steal the famous Worthington necklace.  A fun filled romp packed with mistaken identities, a bumbling private detective, and two scantily dressed nuns sharing one skirt.  The bed is the busiest place as confusion piles on confusion.  {Written by Michael Parker who wrote "The Amorous Ambassador," presented by The Upstagers in 2006.} (Not recommended for children)

"The Wizard of Oz" (Musical)-August 15,16,22,23
Little Dorothy Gale of Kansas, like so many girls her age, dreams of what lies over the rainbow.  One day a twister hits her farm and carries her over the rainbow to another world.  Come join Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tinman, the Cowardly Lion and Toto, too as they travel the universe of Dorothy's imagination.  The Wizard of Oz features such favorite songs as Somewhere Over the Rainbow and We're Off to See the Wizard.
(Bring the children for a wonderful, fun filled theater experience.)

"Greater Tuna" (Comedy-Farce)-November 7, 8, 14, 15
Greater Tuna is the hilarious comedy about Texas’ third smallest town, where the Lions Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies.  The eclectic band of citizens that make up this town  are traditionally  portrayed by only two performers, making this satire on life in rural America even more delightful as they depict all of the inhabitants of Tuna-men, women, and children.
