THEATER

of the things that we wanted to do was to really find a show that would allow them to shine in a role in which that they could dress and present the way that they are most comfortable at any stage in their transition — or for someone who identifies as gender fluid and they are able to present themselves however they would like to be presented through that character.”

Matsou explained that many times, classical musical productions tend to pigeonhole actors into certain roles.

“For example, if you have a high voice, you’d have to play a female role and if you have a low voice, you’d have to play a male role. And this show lets you play any character regardless, and the music is written right in the middle of the staff and can be taken up or down.”

So, what should you expect?

Matsou says to be ready for a lot of fun and a lot of audience interaction.

She also says to not discount the show “if SpongeBob wasn’t your thing.” While the show is suitable for all ages, the goofiness is punctuated with great music and powerful message.

‘The SpongeBob Musical’ runs March 9 – 11 in the Golden High School Auditorium.
