StageBugs Journey

Every star starts small at StageBugs, we help them grow step by step until they shine as Fireflies.

From the shy Caterpillar to the confident Firefly, each “bug” stage builds a child’s acting, writing, leadership, and life skills. Our goal is simple: to give every student the tools to grow in confidence, creativity, and stage presence — preparing them for the spotlight both on stage and in life.
