Meet Us

We're the Thespian Board.
We make things happen.
​
Our team is dedicated to pursuing excellence in the arts for our community. 
Education
At Upland High School we offer a truly unique environment for those who are passionate about all aspects of theatre. Between our wide ranges of performance classes and amazing technical theatre programs, our department trains well rounded and hardworking Thespians. Students emerge with self-confidence, public speaking skills, and great dedication that will be valuable no matter what path they take after graduation. 
Shows and 
​Performances
 We put on three to five main shows a year. All students have opportunities to perform in Happy Holiday in December, and Best of Broadway in April. The other two to three shows change yearly to give more opportunities for students to find the part that’s right for them. 
​
Competitions
Here at UHS Theatre, we take pride in our many opportunities for students to compete in theatre. In recent years, Upland has competed at CETA Southern High School Theatre Festival, MET Festival, Spotlight competition, and several other festivals. We annually host the California State Thespian Festival, where Upland Thespians excel while competing against students from all over the state. 
​Thespian Motto:
"Act well in your part;
there all honor lies"
