What We're Building

Tools that were once out of reach

🎭

3D Stage Design

Build full 3D models of your stage, set pieces, and scenery. Visualize your production before a single nail is driven.

💡

Lighting Simulation

Place, aim, and color lights in a virtual environment. See exactly how your design will look on opening night.

🤝

Real-Time Collaboration

Directors, designers, and students work together simultaneously — from any device, anywhere in the world.

📚

Built-in Education

Integrated stage design lessons and guides make theater education accessible even without a physical stage environment.

Our Mission

Theater education without barriers

Every student deserves to learn the craft of theater — not just performance, but the technical artistry behind the curtain. Stage design, lighting, and set construction are often invisible disciplines, taught only where resources allow.

Upstage is a non-profit web application giving any school or community theater access to professional-grade design tools, guided lessons, and a collaborative environment that mirrors real-world theater workflows.
