****************************
UpStage Underground is a division of UpStage Players for young adult actors aged 13-18.      
    The actors perform a free, outdoor series of edgier and lesser-known one-act plays.  
Each year, we enlist 6-8 Directors to maximize creativity, instead of having only one director and one inspired vision.  Once our Directors gain some experience, they mentor and foster growth in a new generation of Directors.  
    In the past we have chosen plays from Brad Slaight and David Ives, as well as many other acclaimed playwrights.      
    This exciting show lasts about two hours and consists of at least 6 unique one-act plays.  The plays are performed several times in one weekend, sometimes 3 different locations a day!  There are also encore performances for special events or as a part of an educational experience  for younger actors.  
    By leaving elaborate set and stages behind, we have the flexibility to go anywhere.  Our actors can focus on developing characters and acting skills without spending time creating complicated props and costumes.  
    Our actors are dedicated and responsible young adults who give up time at swimming pools and summer jobs to dedicate themselves to rehearsing and performing, as well as adding experience to their acting skills.  By the end of summer, they have faced many challenges from their directors and have pushed themselves to new heights as artists.  Most importantly, they have created something fun and exciting, and shared this experience, as well as themselves, with a wide array of audiences that they might not otherwise have encountered.
