The Upsala Drama Club is excited to bring Never After Happily to the stage this fall! Performances will be Saturday, November 14 at 6:30pm and Sunday, November 15 at 2:00pm!

Never After Happily
Welcome to an enchanted kingdom where all of your favorite fairy tale characters have come to retell their stories in fun and unique ways and—NOPE! Scratch that, we’re not doin’ that!
We’ve all heard these stories a bazillion times, and Ella ain’t havin’ it. See, Ella's a woman of a certain age who has bulldozed her way into this fairy tale world. And she’s got a bone to pick. She’s tired of the false promises of “happily ever after” that never come true in the real world. Ella’s not retelling these stories—she's just writing what happens AFTER the endings, where reality collides with fairy tales in very messy ways. Now, a middle-aged Cinderella and the entire kingdom are rocked as these aging ingénues and neurotic princes try to deal with life after that perfect moment. You don't want to miss this totally wild ride that no one ever imagined after “happily ever after.”

Our talented cast includes: Lucylee Aleckson, Abigail Carlson, Genevieve Mrozek, Trygg Aleckson, Micah Holmes, Raven Nienaber, Caleb Guthrie, Natalya Goulet, Addie Scepaniak, Kadynce Skaj, Suzette Guthrie, Tiffany Marty, Riley Klasen, Addisyn Hovland, and Ashlyn Tanner

1K for Zoey! Congratulations to Upsala senior Zoey Leners, who attained her 1,000th career kill in last night's win over Bertha-Hewitt.

Her passion for the game of volleyball and the hard work she has put in over the last couple of years has been noticed, and now it is celebrated with this amazing accomplishment! We are all very proud of you, Zoey!
