Showcase
Willy Wonka will culminate in a final performance where students can show off what they learned to family and friends. The performance will be held at 12:30 p.m. on July 14th in the same location as camp.
Auditions and Casting
Every student is guaranteed a role with at least one line and one solo upon registering. Auditions simply help us to determine which spot each performer will enjoy and gain the most from. Summer camp is a great opportunity for every young actor to break out of their comfort zone and have a chance to take centerstage, so every camper will play a featured role.
Auditions for Descendants will be run workshop-style on the first day of camp. No prior preparation is required. The cast list will be sent out by the end of the night on July 10th. We do our best to find a role that each child will be excited about, but please remember that in Stagebugz shows, there truly are no small parts. Additionally, many factors go into casting a show, and not receiving their desired role is not a reflection of a child's level of talent.
Sample Camp Day
Each day of camp is a little bit different, as we tailor lessons and activities to best fit the needs of our students. However, every day will include rehearsal time, a special skills workshop, games, and team building.
