Consider the NCAA. Currently, there are 480,000 NCAA student athletes in 20+ sports. Simultaneously, 7.5 million College/HS students across 35 performing arts genres remain fragmented and siloed despite large, passionate followings on campuses and social media.

Operating under the brands UpStaged, National Collegiate Performing Arts (NCPA)™, National High School Performing Arts (NHSPA)™, and National Summer Camp Performing Arts (NSCPA)™, UpStaged is the aggregate home to these student performing arts competitions.

UpStaged produces live and digital “Pitch Perfect”-like competitive championships across performing arts genres (e.g., a cappella, step, sketch comedy) in premier venues and virtual platforms (from Carnegie Hall to Zoom), enabling student performers to compete like athletes.

This College/HS content is the most diverse, scalable field of developable entertainment. As global demand for competitive live and virtual content expands at an unprecedented rate, UpStaged provides a platform for a massive untapped funnel of quality content, audience engagement, and spectator events.

“I look forward to an America which will reward achievement in the Arts as we reward achievement in business or statecraft.”
