Down Stage Center

"Sin, Sex & the CIA" A Farce  June 19,20,26,27, 2009
Set building for "Sin, Sex & the CIA"  Saturday, June 6, at 9am and Sunday, June 7, at 1pm at the Paul Poag.  Mike Parker, the director, can use as many hands as he can get.  This is the perfect opportunity to make a worthwhile contribution to the production, even if you aren’t in the cast or crew.  Bring your friends!  Also, the script calls for a bearskin rug that can cover a person crouched on the ground.  Does anyone have something that might work?

Open Audition Call June 21 and 22, 2009, see call sheet below.

See what's still to come from the Upstagers in 2009 on the Call Sheet below.

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.

Still to Come in The Upstagers 2009 Season

"Little Me" a big Broadway musical by Neil Simon. Everyone is needed.  There are some wonderful parts for chorus people.  Probably the best musical comedy you’ve never heard of, Little Me is a whopping, whirling satire on the familiar “as told to” show biz biography.  In this case the Hollywood back-story of Belle Poitrine (French for “beautiful bosoms”) a buxom blonde bimbo and queen of the silver screen.  Follow her epic romances and rise to ascendance over the bodies of husbands, lovers and acquaintances who meet untimely deaths in her vicinity.  August 14, 15, 21, 22, 2009.

"The Last Night of Ballyhoo" a comedy with some real substance.  It was written by Alfred Uhrey, the author of Driving Miss Daisy.  It includes 3 men and 4 women.  While Hitler is invading Poland, a segment of Atlanta’s Jewish elite is more concerned with who will be attending Ballyhoo, the social event of the season.  Written by Alfred Uhrey, who also wrote Driving Miss Daisy, it is a charming and bittersweet comedy set in Atlanta in 1939. The Last Night of Ballyhoo played at the Helen Hayes Theatre on Broadway in the late 90’s and received the 1997 Outer Critic Circle Award and the 1997 Tony  Award for Best Play.  It was nominated for the 1997 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.  November 13, 14, 20, 21, 2009
