Are you interested in being part of SpongeBob the Musical this summer? Join us for a series of fun dance workshops designed to help performers build confidence, learn new skills, and get a head start on the movement and choreography that may be used in the production. These workshops are open to everyone ages 8 to 80 and beyond who is interested in theatre, dance, or participating in the show. No previous dance experience is necessary. Whether you are a seasoned performer or stepping onto the stage for the first time, these sessions are a great opportunity to learn, move, and have fun. Participants will explore basic dance techniques, musical theatre movement, and choreography inspired by the exciting world of Bikini Bottom. Along the way, you’ll learn more about musical theatre, meet other performers, and gain confidence for auditions and rehearsals. The workshops will be taught by Claire Penning, choreographer for SpongeBob the Musical. Claire has an extensive background in dance and movement and has been choreographing productions at Wabasha-Kellogg for the past five years. Her energetic and supportive teaching style makes these workshops a great experience for performers of all skill levels. There is no cost to participate, and attendance is completely optional. These workshops are simply an opportunity for community members to have fun, learn some new dance moves, and get a head [...]

🎭 THINKING ABOUT AUDITIONING FOR The SpongeBob Musical? 🎭 We’d love to have you join us this summer! Auditions for SpongeBob the Musical are coming up, and performers ages 8 to 80 and beyond are encouraged to participate. Whether you’re a student, parent, grandparent, or community member, there is a place for you in Bikini Bottom! No theatre experience is necessary. Auditions are simple, fun, and low-stress. All you’ll need to do is sing “Happy Birthday” (or a short song of your choice), read a few lines from the script, and possibly complete a brief vocal range check so we can learn more about your voice. You only need to attend ONE audition date, and most auditions take about 15–20 minutes. You do not need to stay for the entire audition session—just long enough to complete your singing, vocal check, and audition reading. Already filled out the interest form? Great! Haven’t filled it out? That’s okay too! You can still come to the audition and complete the necessary forms when you arrive. We also understand that summer schedules can be busy. If you have vacations, work commitments, family events, or other conflicts, don’t let that stop you from auditioning. This production includes a wide variety of roles and opportunities, and we will do our best to help everyone find a place in the show. 📅 [...]
