The Mainstage production is Stagebugz Theatre's musical spectacular of the year, and young performers of all ages and experience levels are guaranteed a season to remember when they join the Stagebugz family for this heartwarming show about everyone's favorite orphan!
In 1930s New York City, it's a hard knock life for Annie and her friends at the orphanage run by cruel, conniving Miss Hannigan. But when Annie is invited to spend the holidays at the mansion of billionaire Oliver Warbucks, both of their lives are about to change. While Annie is determined to find her real mother and father, she manages to win over the hearts of Oliver and his staff. With a Tony-award winning book, timeless songs, and plenty of fantastic roles to challenge performers of all experience levels, this beloved musical is sure to delight actors and audiences alike.
MAINSTAGE COMPANY actors will take their performance skills to the next level as they star in a fully-produced, two-act musical. They will take on complex characters and learn advanced stage acting and character development techniques while rehearsing music and choreography in a variety of styles, bringing their own voices to iconic characters, and even dipping their toes into the behind-the-scenes elements of their show.
MINI COMPANY actors get to shine on the mainstage with their very own songs and scenes and opportunities to play show-stealing characters. Class time will be spent singing and dancing, playing games, and building their imaginations as they work to bring their characters to life.
All students will learn skills and techniques to carry with them in any future path they choose, all while making lifelong friends and experiencing the magic of live theatre. Classes lead up to four fully-staged performances, complete with costumes, props, and sets.
Our spring programs offer performers of all experience levels the chance to hone their skills, explore new ideas, build their confidence, and shine on stage and on screen! Each program creates a community of young actors who support and build each other up, and all students are valued and respected. Tuition is all-inclusive (no surprise fees from Stagebugz!), and need-based scholarships are available. So, whether your child is Broadway-bound or new to the stage, celebrate the joy of theatre with us this season!
