New Beginnings in Salt Lake County!


Welcome to the new Upstage Theatre for Youth in Sandy, UT!

As we start over in a different market, we are feeling anxious and excited: anxious that we could fail and excited about the possibilities. We are so excited about the new way for young actors to sign up for an audition time and fill out the audition form online. This will expedite and streamline the whole audition process. To fill out the form online (click the 'Audition' tab at the top of this blog). 


It is always a little bit of a gamble starting a program in a new area, but we are confident that the youth in this area are talented and interested in getting involved in fun, exciting theater. In honor of this 'gamble,' we are pleased to announce our first show in the Sandy area..."Guys and Dolls Jr." 

 We held our first production meeting this morning, and it was so exciting to hear all the great creative ideas! This will be a great show!

Set in 1920s New York City, GUYS AND DOLLS JR. introduces us to colorful characters who have become legends in the musical theatre canon: Sarah Brown, the up­right but uptight "mission doll,"; Sky Masterson, the slick, high-rolling gambler who woos her on a bet and ends up falling in love; Adelaide, a nightclub performer whose chronic flu is brought on by the fact she's been engaged to the same man for 14 years; and Nathan Detroit, her devoted fiancĂ©, desperate as always to find a spot for is infamous floating dice game.

We are looking for youth ages 6 to 18 who like to sing, dance, and act. This show calls for lots of guys (high rolling, slick, and lovable gamblers) and lots of dolls (singing, dancing, sweethearts of the show), so come on over on JANUARY 12 at 2600 East Creek Road in Sandy UT and bring your friends!
