What's Included

• Storefront venue with full performance stage in East Nashville

Experience

Best for kids who like making things rather than memorizing scripts - The Theater Bug commissions and develops original work with kid casts, which is rare nationally. East Side families avoid commuting to Middle Tennessee venues.
