Who Makes Theatre Bugs?

WHO MAKES THEATRE BUGS? is a vignette-style documentary series about the people who make up Adelaide’s iconic performance school, Theatre Bugs & the Adelaide Theatre Academy.

Episode 1 of the series is interviews with past students – you can watch it here: https://vimeo.com/431393991

Episode 2 includes Theatre Bugs & Adelaide Theatre Academy teachers, their stories, memories and funniest moments and will be ready to watch and posted on Facebook soon.

If you are someone, or you know someone “Who Makes Theatre Bugs” – with magical stories to share – please call us on 8332 1228 and we’ll organise to hit the lights, set up the camera, and call action to film you!

Theatre Bugs Benefits
Unforgettable Experiences

Students participate in at least 2 performances each year which often involve sets, lights and costumes. Students are often invited to participate in events such as TV work, charity concerts, Fringe events, Christmas pageants and more!

We Understand Families

We know you are busy so we don’t expect you to sew costumes. We know you need to budget, so we don’t charge for regular ‘in house’ performances. We know that family is really important so we invite all of family to attend performances.

Peace of
Mind

The safety and well being of your child is as important to us as it is to you. Our teachers genuinely CARE about your children. All teachers hold First Aid certificates, Police Clearances and receive ongoing training, mentoring and support.

Skills for

Life

Children learn to trust their own ideas, develop perseverance, empathy, teamwork, to feel confident in their own ability and develop the confidence they need to tackle the challenging situations they are confronted with in life.

Non-competitive environment

We create an environment where children work together towards a common goal; where they feel proud of their personal achievements.
Children are supported to develop at their own pace without the pressure of exams and competitions.
