There are many amazing youth theatre groups in Colorado, and Stagebugz is proud to be among them! However, Stagebugz stands out because of our commitment to fostering a communicative, encouraging ensemble. Our motto is: "At Stagebugz, you are safe, supported, and special." Stagebugz promotes collaboration and growth and discourages all types competition, pressure, or judgement. Our goal is to allow students to experience the joy of theatre and performing arts, teaching them empathy and self-confidence along the way.
Stagebugz is a 301(c)3 non-profit, meaning any donations made are tax-deductible! Donations can be made online via our donation page and when registering for a camp or class, and they can be made by cash or check at any Stagebugz event. Donations of props, costumes, set pieces, and other mateirals are also greatly appreciated! Stagebugz frequently collaborates with other community organizations, and we are always grateful for interested volunteers!

Due to licensing agreements, theatre capacity, and students' safety, certain performances are limited to only family members or ticketed audiences. However, many performances are open and free to the public, and our students love having community members come support their hard work!

Yes! Our team has experience working with students at all levels, from beginners to Broadway alumni. Camps and classes are tailored towards performers' interests and strengths, and instructors are always available to work with students to find more ways to help them grow. Stagebugz also offers a Student Leadership Program for certain programs, which allows experienced performers to take on more responsibilities and challenges by mentoring their peers.
Stagebugz welcomes all children, regardless of experience or skill level. No experience is required to participate; in fact, we believe that Stagebugz is a great place for a young performer's first theater experience. Our programs are designed to foster a nurturing and non-competitve environment where no child feels inferior or superior to another. Each child will be given the space to learn and grow at their own pace, and we emphasize a strong sense of community and ensemble among anything else in our camps.
Camps, classes, and workshops are designed with a specific age range to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. However, we know that each child is different, and exceptions to the posted age range may be possible on a case-by-case basis. Please contact us at stagebugztheatre@gmail.com if you would like to request an exception.
We love to hear feedback and suggestions from our participants! While we cannot guarantee any future offerings, we closely consider all feedback when developing our programs. Please use our VIRTUAL SUGGESTION BOX to let us know your thoughts, or head to our "contact" page to reach us via email or phone.
Stagebugz isn't just a theatre company, we are a community! Our staff cares deeply about the well-being and happiness of the children and families we work with. If you or your child needs help in any way, don't hesitate to contact us or let your instructor know. We work closely with many other local organizations and non-profits, and we are always available to help you find resources and support. We will also do our best to provide any help a performer/family requires, such as extra snacks/food/water during camp, early drop-off/late pick-up, or special needs accommodations.
