Unfortunately, due to the ramifications of COVID-19 we have been forced to cancel our planned 2021 summer show Shrek the Musical. Don’t feel too blue though, as we do have some very exciting things planned!

Upstagers Academy
Upstagers Academy
Upstagers has been providing a creative outlet for youngsters in the Ilkley area for over thirty years. We have a great team of teachers providing fulfilling, fun and beneficial classes to our next generation of Upstagers stars. Our students get the most out of their experience by building confidence and developing communication skills, whilst also having a lot of fun and meeting new friends. We're proud that many Upstagers alumni have created successful careers in theatre and other forms of performance.
Classes are available for six year olds up to young adults. Due to COVID19 all classes currently take place online rather than at the Upstagers Barn opposite Ilkley railway station.

We have chosen Teespring as our first online merchandising platform. Upstagers design the web store and merchandise design which is then manufactured and distributed by Teespring.
Teespring pay us a cut of the sale price for every item sold, so your purchase will really help us during these difficult times with no income from ticket sales for shows. Upstagers is a charity run by volunteers, but despite this we have costs to cover for our buildings etc.
If you do decide to purchase something from our Teespring store then thank you so much!
This is a new venture for us and we'd welcome your feedback by emailing upstagers@upstagers.org.uk .

About Us
About Us
Upstagers is a youth theatre group based in Ilkley, West Yorkshire. We typically put on two main shows a year - a pantomime in late January and a musical summer show in mid July. Our performers tend to be aged 6 to 25(ish). In addition to our shows, we also run classes in Drama, Singing and Performance through our Upstagers Academy, which are all run at our home at the Upstagers Barn in Ilkley (opposite Ilkley station).
We are also a registered charity (no. 1041989) run by a great team of hard-working volunteers. As a charity, we rely on the hard work of the volunteers in our amazing Upstagers family, so don't tend to offer paid work, but we welcome any offers of help. All our income goes into the running of our premises, Academy classes and shows. If you would like to donate to our charity then please click the link below and thank you so much!

Upstagers is a charity with the stated aim of promoting the performing arts in the local area, particularly to the younger generation. This would be impossible without a team of volunteers, our Upstagers Family, who give their time and energy, and without whom Upstagers would not be the success that it has been over the last 30+ years. However, it also costs money to keep our building running and to put on theatrical productions.
If you'd like to volunteer to help then please email us at upstagers@upstagers.org.uk and if you are would like to make a charitable donation you can do so by clicking the button below. We are very grateful for any and all support.
