The Spongebob Musical Cast List
Thank you so much to everyone who auditioned; we all appreciate your courage and enthusiasm! This was a difficult decision, so we wanted to share some casting insights with you:
-
The singing voice is the most important thing we look/listen for in casting a musical. We specifically listen for solid voices that can project, are clear, and in tune. We then look at those of you who make strong character choices and take risks acting in your singing and reading.
-
When casting leading roles, we choose those who can bring a strong representation in all 3 disciplines. Dance, Voice, and Acting.
-
If you were not cast this time, please don’t lose heart! There are many more opportunities throughout the year for you to participate in drama!
-
If you were not cast, but are interested in kru, please fill out the application.
PLEASE EMAIL MATTHEW VAN BRUGGEN INFO@IHSDRAMA.ORG TO CONFIRM YOU HAVE SEEN THE MESSAGE. If you want to decline your role, please also email us before the read-through Monday. There will be no negative feelings; we want everyone to be excited to be there.
