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.

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!
Donate
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 35+ 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.
