Upper Darby Summer Stage - Upper Darby Performing Arts Center

Magic on stage
Memories for life

Before there were the many regional summer theater camps, there was Upper Darby Summer Stage!

Since 1976 Upper Darby Summer Stage has been empowering young people and entertaining families. The program is recognized nationally as the gold-standard for youth theater programs.

We invite students from all over the Delaware Valley to register for Summer Stage! We have a program just for you!

The Mission of Upper Darby Summer Stage is to encourage young people to develop the magic of their talents, personality and energy, and to share that magic with our audiences through outstanding theatrical performances for the entire family.

Each summer over 750 students from throughout the Philadelphia region participate in Summer Stage programs. Over 34,000 ticket-holders from the tri-state area walk through our doors each summer to enjoy the performances.

"The hidden value of Summer Stage simply can't be measured ... what happens on stage is only the beginning."

Summer Stage is a proud part of the Upper Darby Arts and Education Foundation, and supported by generous donations from our community. Learn more and support the future of Summer Stage.
