Bullying Prevention Assembly Program
BullyProof the Musical
Our bullying-prevention production, built for the school assembly format schools already use, with a story students connect with and a talkback structure so the conversation doesn't end when the curtain closes.
The Story
Bullyproof The Musical
Bullyproof The Musical is an engaging, high-energy educational musical designed to empower students with the confidence, courage, and tools to make a positive difference in their school community. Throughout the production, children will learn an empowering message they can remember and use long after the curtain closes:
“To become BULLYPROOF, you must first take a S.T.A.N.D.!”
Through memorable characters, humor, music, and relatable situations, the production helps students recognize bullying, understand its impact, and discover positive ways to respond. Rather than simply telling students what to do, Bullyproof The Musical encourages them to think, make choices, speak up, ask for help, and support one another.
The S.T.A.N.D. message becomes a powerful reminder that students don't have to feel helpless when faced with bullying. They can take action, use their voice, stand up for themselves and others, and become part of creating a school culture built on kindness, respect, courage, empathy, and inclusion.
More than just a musical performance, Bullyproof The Musical is an empowering educational experience that uses the magic of live theatre to teach important life lessons in a way children can see, hear, feel, and remember.
When students learn to take a S.T.A.N.D., they discover that they have the power to make a difference.
Built into every performance
- A Story Students Connect With. BullyProof uses a powerful combination of story, humor, music, and relatable characters to explore bullying in a way students can understand and remember. Instead of being talked at, students become part of the story—and see how their choices can make a difference.
- Real Situations. Real Choices. Real Conversations. Students see what bullying can look like from different perspectives, including the person being targeted, the person doing the bullying, and the students who witness it. They learn that they don't have to stand by—and that small acts of courage, kindness, and inclusion can have a powerful impact.
- A Talkback That Turns the Performance Into a Conversation. The experience doesn't end when the curtain closes. Our post-performance talkback gives students and staff a chance to ask questions, share perspectives, and connect the show's message to their own school community.
- A Message That Reaches the Whole School. BullyProof isn't just about telling students what not to do. It's about building empathy, encouraging students to speak up safely, support one another, and take an active role in creating a school culture where everyone feels welcome and respected.
The Impact
A message that's reached schools across the country
We've brought BullyProof to thousands of schools across the U.S., because bullying prevention works best when it's a story kids actually remember, not just a policy they're told to follow.

For Administrators
How BullyProof fits your anti-bullying initiative
BullyProof is designed to sit alongside the anti-bullying policies, SEL curriculum, and reporting procedures your school already has, not replace them.
- Reinforces what students are already being taught. A live, memorable story gives your existing anti-bullying and SEL lessons something students actually reference afterward.
- Covers the full range schools need addressed: bullying, cyberbullying, physical violence, and inappropriate behavior, in one performance.
- Opens the door to follow-up conversation. The built-in talkback gives staff a natural moment to connect the show to your school's own reporting process and support resources.
- Fits a single assembly period. No pulling classes for multiple days, book it as a standalone assembly or pair it with a residency.
- Bookable with Prop 28 arts funding. Most LA County schools already have dollars set aside for exactly this kind of outside arts partnership, see our Funding page for how that works.
- Pairs well with a residency. Schools that want the message to go deeper than a single assembly can follow BullyProof with an in-school residency, giving one class or grade several more days to work with the material.
Your students deserve to hear this message. Let's book the date.
Tell us your grade levels and dates, we'll help you find a slot that fits your schedule. Assembly dates typically get requested 4–6 weeks out, so the earlier we hear from you, the more dates we can offer.
