UpStage Artists began in 2019 with a goal of creating an environment that welcomed everyone into an accepting community. In return, they would give back to the community that supported them. Over the past several years they have built a program that gives opportunities to people who want to learn and participate in the performing arts.
People from all walks of life have graced UpStage Artists stage. They have had scientists, teachers, lawyers, PhD students, and many others perform with them since their inception. Several of their performers have also never been in a production before their time with UpStage Artists. They have introduced numerous children to the world of theater as well, and several have gone on to perform at other venues. Zac Coates, one of the performers in The Mousetrap had this to say, “thanks to UpStage Artists, [my family] carries deep passion for the Arts with them.” Beyond the stage, their dedication to the community continues in other ways.
UpStage Artists’ mission goes further than performing; they are also committed to giving back. Over the years they have donated time and money to various other non-profit organizations including The Beltsville Volunteer Fire Department, Beltsville Community Cats, The Emmanuel Food Distribution, Hopeworks of Howard County, Reading Partners of Baltimore, and Emmanuel United Methodist Church. Currently they are raising money for LARS, Laurel Advocacy and Referral Services, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization serving homeless and low-income families and individuals in Central Maryland. Our service area includes parts of Prince George's, Howard and Anne Arundel Counties. To support UpStage Artists in their fundraising efforts for LARS, visit https://www.ticketleap.events/tickets/upstage-artists-incorporated/lars to donate today.
UpStage Artists takes the idea of community theater to heart by emphasizing the COMMUNITY in community theater. They keep their ticket prices low so that everyone has a chance to enjoy live theater. They are dedicated to creating a welcoming space where everyone can experience the joy of live theater.
