2025 Season Rope Auditions: Dec. 10 and 12, 2024 For the mere sake of adventure, dan-ger, and the “fun of the thing,” Wyndham Brandon persuades his weak-minded friend, Charles Granil-lo, to assist him in the murder of a fellow under-graduate, a perfectly harmless man named Ronald Raglan. They place the body in a wooden chest, and to add spice to their handiwork, invite a few acquaintances, including the dead youth’s father, to a party, the chest with its gruesome contents serving as a supper table. Show Dates: February 21-23 and February 28-March 2, 2025 Guess Who's Coming To Dinner Auditions: Mar. 25 and 27, 2025 A progressive white couple's proud liberal sensibilities are put to the test when their daughter brings her black fiancé home to meet them in this fresh and relevant stage adaptation of the iconic film Guess Who's Coming to Din-ner. Blindsided by their daughter's whirlwind ro-mance and fearful for her future, Matt and Christi-na Drayton quickly come to realize the difference between supporting a mixed-race couple in your newspaper and welcoming one into your family--especially in 1967. But they're surprised to find they aren't the only ones with concerns about the match, and it's not long before a multi-family clash of racial and generational difference sweeps across the Draytons' idyllic San Francisco terrace. At the end of the day, will the love between young Joan-na and John prevail? With humor and in-sight, Guess Who's Coming To Dinner begins a conversation sure to continue at dinner tables long after the curtain comes down. Show Dates: April 25-27 and May 2-4, 2025 Nobody on the Rialto knows what he's up to, but it's big, really, really big! Myron gathers his entou-rage - his sassy mother, his gangster henchman, his Hungarian backer and his wide-eyed niece straight off the bus from Buffalo - and concocts a plan to find out what the mystery show is all about. He discovers the show is about a monkey, a very large monkey. As the story unfolds, the sev-en doors on the set fly open and slam shut con-stantly, there’s mistaken identity, pies in the face, deceit, underhandedness, and even a couple of romances along the way. You have all the ingredi-ents of a crazy, fast-paced farce, where every mo-ment is cleverly and meticulously coordinated with the events depicted in the 1933 movie. Show Dates: October 10-12 and 17-19, 2025 The Adventures of A Comic Book Artist The Musical *This is our annual children's show. All auditioners will be children, ages TBA. Auditions: May 17, and 18, 2025 Stanley Leonardo Sappovitz wants nothing more than to be-come a comic book artist and create heroes and villains for the comic books he loves so much. As the janitor at Wonder Comics, he anxiously awaits the day that his boss, D.C. Wunderman, will see his drawings and give him the chance to have his superheroes come alive on the printed page. Stanley’s heroes come alive, all right — but not on the printed page! In an effort to revive his faltering company, Wunder-man had ordered a set of magical pens guaranteed to bring to life any character drawn. When plans go awry and his staff of artists unwittingly create the dreaded super-villain Doctor Shock Clock, it is up to Stanley to save the day with his own super-heroes! Show Dates: July 25-27 and August 1-3, 2025 Kong's Night Out Auditions: August 5 and 6, 2025 at 7 pm The tale of what happened in the hotel room next to the hotel room where Ann was whisked out of the bed and into the Manhattan night by King Kong be-cause there's always a backstory. Myron Siegel is a low-end Broadway producer who desperately wants to be high end. The trouble is, he has, for his entire career, been sabotaged by his arch-rival, who is ultra-famous for making movies about scary jungle creatures. That producer's father and Myron's father were also rivals back in the day and the rivalry has lived on. As the play opens, Myron has just learned that the rival producer has booked a theatre directly across from the theatre where Myron's potential bonanza Foxy Felicia is about to open. What are parents saying about UpStage’s Children’s Theater program? It's just so good and it makes all the kids feel included and welcome. ~Rose C. I appreciate how accepting you are of all dif-ferent children. You are patient and work with kids of varying acting abilities. You help them improve their skills and boost their self esteem while still holding them accountable. ~Gloria D. UpStage provides a safe and fun environment where kids can grow as performers and peo-ple. This was our third show with UA, and it feels like family. I like that the kids get con-structive feedback on their progress and are growing as actors. ~Dana C. When Emma auditioned, she left crying. She didn’t think she was good enough and thought she did horrible. When she left the last day of the performance, she left crying because it was the best experience of her life. Upstage Artists gives people chances. Upstage Artists leaves people with confidence. ~Carly G.
