LEGALLY BLONDE the Musical Jr.
Acting Up
Feb. 17-19
Mason Community Center
Legally Blonde Jr. follows the transformation of Elle Woods as she tackles stereotypes, snobbery and scandal in pursuit of her dreams. When Elle’s boyfriend, Warner, dumps her and heads to Harvard, claiming she’s not “serious” enough, Elle takes matters into her own hands, crafting a showy song-and-dance personal essay and charming her way into law school. Befriending classmate, Emmett, and spunky hairdresser, Paulette, along the way, Elle finds that books and looks aren’t mutually exclusive. As Elle begins outsmarting her peers, she realizes that law may be her natural calling after all.

Acting Up presents The SpongeBob Musical
September 23-25 at the Mason High School Theater
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Mason, OH, August 17, 2022) – Join us as the iconic Nickelodeon cartoon comes to life on the stage this September, in Mason! The SpongeBob Musical explodes with energy and features an original pop and rock-infused score by a legendary roster of Grammy® Award-winning artists including Yolanda Adams, Steven Tyler, Sara Bareilles, Lady A, Cyndi Lauper, John Legend, Panic! At the Disco, Plain White T’s, They Might Be Giants, T.I., David Bowie, and more.
Acting Up, a young performers community theater, is thrilled to present this crazy, fun, one-of-a-kind musical event through special arrangement with Concord Theatricals. Don’t miss the opportunity to see one of the four performances held at the Mason High School Theater (6100 Mason-Montgomery Rd.), September 23-25. Acting Up’s production includes a live orchestra and 55 local, talented young performers from across the tri-state area ranging from 6-18 years old.
About the Story
The SpongeBob Musical is described as “Our Town” meets “Armageddon” meets “SpongeBob.” This musical takes place in the undersea city of Bikini Bottom, inhabited by the 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 The SpongeBob Musical 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.
Acting Up presents The SpongeBob MusicalFour shows are held over one weekend at the Mason High School Theater:
(6100 Mason-Montgomery Road, Mason OH 45040)
