Winter Theater Program for Grades 7th- 12th: SpongeBob the Musical: Youth Edition
Join us under the sea for our spring youth production of
SpongeBob the Musical: Youth Edition!
This program is open to students ages 12+ (entering 7th grade through 12th grade).
Pay-to-Play Program
This is a pay-to-play production, which means there are no cuts. Every student who registers and participates in the audition process will be cast in the show. Auditions are used to determine casting and roles—not whether a student is accepted into the production. Program fee is $75 per student.
Audition Workshops
All participants will take part in our Audition Workshops in December, where they'll learn audition techniques, choreography, music, and scene work while building confidence in a supportive environment. These workshops also serve as the internal audition process for role placement.
Workshop Dates TBD
