SOME THEATRE COMPANY

PERFORMANCE DATES February 24- March 6 2022

 

The stakes are higher than ever in this dynamic stage musical, as SpongeBob and all of Bikini Bottom face the total annihilation of their undersea world. Chaos erupts. Lives hang in the balance. And just when all hope seems lost, a most unexpected hero rises up and takes center stage. The power of optimism really can save the world!

ALL ROLES ARE OPEN TO ALL GENDERS AND AGES 15+

 

SpongeBob SquarePants (Lead+): Optimistic, innocent, and energetic (sometimes hyperactive.) This role is best suited for an extremely physical actor. Comedic skills and strong work ethic a plus. Pop tenor.

​

Patrick Star (Lead +): Well-intentioned but lacking common sense or skills; kind and somewhat clueless, an innocent; a big softie, who can also be prone to sudden child-like fits of rage or frustration. Baritenor.

​

Sandy Cheeks (Lead, Mezzo-Soprano, Alto, 15+): A brainy and athletic Texan squirrel who came to Bikini Bottom for a research project. She acts as SpongeBob's most trusted ally on their quest to stop the volcano from erupting, using her vast amount of scientific knowledge and brilliant inventions to aid the mission. She is the brains behind the operation. Girl Power.

 

Squidward Q. Tentacles (Lead, 25+): Grumpy, cynical, dry, short-tempered, generally negative but lovable nonetheless. Squidward must move well. The ability to TAP dance is a huge plus. Baritone/Baritenor

​

Sheldon J. Plankton (Lead, 18+): His personality outweighs his size- slick, scheming, nefarious; has the ability to charm; determined, he will do anything to get ahead in life; very greedy, but his heart is still open enough to rekindle a romance with his wife. Must be able to dance. The ability to mumble rap is a big plus.

​

Eugene Crabs (Lead, 25+): The greedy owner of the Krusty Krab, and employer of SpongeBob and Squidward. While everyone is off panicking about Bikini Bottom's imminent doom, he decides to strike the iron while it's hot and puts on a huge "apocalypse sale" at his restaurant, exploiting the fear of his fellow fish to make him even richer.

 

Karen the Computer (Supporting; Soprano, Mezzo-Soprano, Alto; 18+): Needs to be able to beat-box, or, have the ability to learn.  Glamorous, a robotic housewife of Plankton. She's been there for Plankton's every scheme and plot and has become jaded - she's been there and done that. Strong comic actress, as well as Singer and mover. Able to morph into different characters throughout the show and play various undersea creatures.

 

Pearl Krabs/Security Guard (Supporting, Mezzo-Soprano, 15+): Mr. Krabs' bratty teenage daughter. Pearl is a whale. Must have excellent comedic timing, a strong pop-rock belt.
