I was an employee of The Theater Bug for almost three years, and I was used by the staff for my mental health issues and neurodivergence to work full time as a stage manager that was more like a personal assistant, while being often being unable to pay rent. I am a trans nonbinary individual, and I suffered through many transphobic and harmful experiences being a part of this community.
This place is magic. We enjoyed the Winter Concert. The original plays are my favorite, though. The director is somehow able to make the most challenging issues of our time into approachable stories for children and adults. This is a 501(c)3 non-profit doing work helping to make Nashville a more loving place.
Loved the play on grief! We went and saw it two times. The kids, who acted in the play, were amazing and it is an issue that needs addressing and was addressed well in the play. You won’t be disappointed!!
Incredible show, these kids were amazing! Highly recommend
I was definitely surprised to find the Theater Bug so professional, the set and actors were outstanding.
Wonderful theater company for our citys young people!
This is the best place for theater kids in Nashville! Such an inclusive and loving experience for my son! Were fans for life!
Feeling such positivity after watching the middle school girls with Girls Up Loud!!!! Wonderful young ladies supporting each other in their art of singing and playing. What a true delight. Congratulations and thank you to all involved!
Love everything they do. My son is so happy there!
Great place! I have been in many plays here and it is a wonderful atmosphere! Cant recommend enough. Also great for first time actors
Winter concert ON AIR was great.
We are fortunate to have an establishment like Theater Bug in our community. It provides an open minded and accepting space for kids of all backgrounds to focus on theater. The subject matter often pushes social issues, but is always fun. The kids put in a ton of work; it is a commitment, but it pays off with great shows.
Amazing performance of Much Ado About Nothing. The actors did a great job and the concession/other people behind the scenes did a fantastic job making sure everyone was comfortable.
A wonderful venue to watch future generations shine on stage!
The theater bug is fantastic! More than a theater, the actors are directed in such a way to unleash their creative efforts! Brilliant at nearly every performance weve seen. So good!
A gem, a jewel, a gift to the community. Top notch. What else can I say?! Magical? Yes!
