When Beatrice’s cousins Marco and Rodolpho enter the US illegally, desperate to find work having fled the poverty of Sicily, the pair is welcomed into the Carbone home.

Auditions Announced for THE SPONGEBOB MUSICAL at Acting Up

ACTUP-logoAuditions for Acting Up’s SpongeBob Musical

Who: Anyone 6-18 years old

When: Monday, June 20 or Tuesday, June 21, 6:20-9:00 pm.

How: You must sign up for an auditions spot on the Sign Up Genius
https://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040e4facaf29a13-spongebob

Show Info:  SpongeBob is the musical adaptation of Nickelodeon’s long-running animated sitcom you have seen on TV. This crazy, fun musical is described as “Our Town” meets “Armageddon” meets “SpongeBob.” It has music by multiple award-winning, eclectic artists from John Legend to Aerosmith, from Sara Bareilles to David Bowie and many more. This musical takes place in the undersea city of Bikini Bottom, inhabited by happy-go-lucky and ever-optimistic yellow sea sponge SpongeBob SquarePants and his equally quirky circle of friends and neighbors. SpongeBob’s pleasant existence is abruptly interrupted when it is discovered that a nearby volcano will erupt within the next 48 hours!

Though SpongeBob SquarePants is incredibly fun and family-friendly, its timeless story of identity, crisis, and community is also a witty allegory that examines and critiques the politics of the modern era, and it does so in such a way where children will appreciate and understand the plot line, while adults can read between the lines and extract even more from the musical’s message.

What to prepare and bring: Details are on the Sign Up Genius. A song, monologue, audition form and recent photo. Dress to dance.

More information on the show and roles:

Schedule: Rehearsals will begin the week of July 5, and are expected to be Monday-Thursday 6:30-9:00pm and Sundays 2:00-5:00pm. Not all actors will be called to every rehearsal.

Performances will be Sept 23-25 at the Mason High School Theater.
Who’s Directing?: Acting Up’s Fall Musical will be directed by Becca Burgess, with assistant director Brent Peebles. Music Direction by Jeanne Bilyeu and Kyle Heimbrock.

Any questions can be directed to ActingUp@ActingUp.com
