Summers are like no other at Stagebugz! Join us for a magical, musical season to remember with programs for performers of all ages and experience levels. Camp days will be spent learning new skills through scenes, music, and dances from your favorite shows while playing games, making friends, and having lots of fun! As always, each student is guaranteed at least one line and a solo as we share what we learned for friends and family on the last day of camp.
In Stagebugz's younger company camp, students explore the basics of singing, dancing, and acting while working together to put on their very own 25-minute performance. Throughout the week, campers will participate in rehearsals with familiar songs and characters, grow their skills and confidence through games and interactive lessons, and learn about a variety of aspects of theatre production through themed activities designed just for young thespians.
Dates, Times, and Location
June 15th-June 19th, 2026
9 AM-1 PM
Camp and showcase will be held indoors at Columbine United Church (6375 S Platte Canyon Road; Littleton, CO 80123)
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 perform lines from the showcase script. No prior preparation is necessary, and campers do not need to be able to read.
All registered performers are guaranteed at least one speaking line and one solo 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 be the reason a performer is unable to participate. 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.
Showcase
On the last day of camp, students will share what they've learned throughout the week in an informal showcase for friends and family.
The showcase will take place on Friday, June 19th at Columbine United Church (the same location as camp) at the following times:
CAST A- 12 PM
CAST B- 1 PM
To ensure each child receives individualized attention and an equal opportunity to shine, students will be split into two casts with separate showcases. Each camper will perform in one or the other, and families with significant extenuating circumstances (work/travel plans, siblings registering together, etc) will have the opportunity to request one time or the other prior to the start of camp. All camp dates, times, and locations will otherwise be the same for both casts, and campers will have ample opportunities to rehearse, play, and learn with peers in both casts.
