About
Stagebugz's teen camp challenges students of all experience levels in a fast-paced training program where they explore advanced performance techniques and take part in professional-style musical rehearsals. Each student is met where they're at and given opportunities to shine while working towards their individual interests and goals. Special topics workshops and peer groups enrich camp days and are tailored to provide a taste of other aspects of theatre outside of rehearsal time. Camp culminates in a staged showcase for friends and family, where every performer is guaranteed lines and a singing solo. Of course, there will be lots of games, team-building fun, and friendships that will last a lifetime!

Showcase
On the last day of camp, students will present what they've worked on throughout the week in a showcase for friends and family.
The showcase will take place on Friday, June 5th at Three Leaches Theatre (the same location as camp) at 1:00 PM.*
*To ensure adequate seating, if enrollment exceeds capacity of 3 guests/student, a second showcase time may be added at 2:30 PM.
Auditions
On the first day of camp, students will go through an informal, low-stakes "audition" workshop where they will learn a short song and dance and have an opportunity to read scenes from the "Grease" script. No prior preparation is necessary, but materials will be sent out one week prior to the start of camp in order to help mitigate nerves for anyone who prefers to see them in advance.
All registered performers are guaranteed at least one solo and speaking lines in the final showcase, and our small class sizes ensure that each performer receives ample time in the spotlight. Auditions simply help us to determine where everyone will learn the most and have the best experience. They are not meant to be stressful or overwhelming; they are part of the camp experience because they are a stress-free way to introduce students to the audition process if they should choose to continue pursuing theatre in the future! However, we never want auditions to prevent a performer from participating. If your child is not comfortable auditioning in-person, please reach out to stagebugztheatre@gmail.com and we would be happy to discuss alternative options.
