The Story: When the citizens of Bikini Bottom discover that a volcano will soon erupt and destroy their humble home, SpongeBob and his friends must come together to save the fate of their undersea world. With lives hanging in the balance and all hope lost, a most unexpected hero rises up. Can the power of optimism really save the world?
The show features a unique score with each song written by different pop/rock artists, including Aerosmith, Sara Bareilles, Cyndi Lauper, John Legend, Panic! At the Disco, Plain White T’s, They Might Be Giants, David Bowie, and more!
Casting: We encourage actors of all ethnicities, body types, genders, and abilities to join us! All roles are open to all actors (age 14 and up). Ages listed are the character's stage age; actor age is flexible. SPONGEBOB is a vibrant, heartfelt, quirky show which makes big physical and vocal demands of its cast. These roles require over-the-top movement and physical characterization to bring Bikini Bottom to life.
Our goal is to bring together a community of performers who are kind, hardworking, team-first, upbeat, energetic, unique, and ready to use comedy to tell a story of truth and humanity.

What to Prepare:
PREPARE A 60-90 SECOND CUT OF A POP/ROCK SONG OR A SONG FROM A MUSICAL. Pop/rock songs should be in the style of one of the artists featured in SPONGEBOB (some of which are listed in The Story section above). Musical theatre songs should reflect a similar contemporary pop/rock style (for example: & Juliet, In The Heights, Sister Act, Be More Chill, Mean Girls, Beetlejuice, Six, The Outsiders, Waitress, etc). Your song choice should show off your voice and personality - this helps us get to know you! This is a show that demands lots of big and unique personalities. Don’t be afraid to be yourself!
BRING YOUR OWN ACCOMPANIMENT TRACK TO AUDITIONS. This can be from YouTube, Spotify or other music apps, and should be accessible on your phone or similar device; we will have standard cables available for use to connect to the speaker. The track should not include pre-recorded solo vocals (back-up vocals are ok!). Please be sure you know the time marking where your audition cut begins.
PLAN TO PARTICIPATE IN A DANCE AUDITION. This show is very physical and all auditioners will be asked to dance. We recommend that auditioners wear closed-toed shoes and clothing appropriate for movement, or bring a change of clothes/shoes for your dance audition.
Please note that you may be asked to sing a selection from the show or read sides from the script following your audition. These materials will be available the week before auditions here: https://tinyurl.com/riversidespongebob
