Welcome, to Bikini Bottom,
Based on the beloved cartoon, SpongeBob the musical has been making audiences smile for years. This magical tale of friendship is sure to delight you.

I want to make sure that we give a huge thank you to the members of the theatre 1 and 2 classes. You have the opportunity to see them on the stage as characters but also in the costumes, the set, makeup, and props.
In closing, I want to make sure we give a shout out to my fellow staff members, especially our custodial staff and administration for all their behind-the-scenes work and for allowing us the opportunity to shine!
Please sit back, relax, and enjoy a couple of hours of live entertainment. Ms. Thomas CSMS Theatre Director (754) 300-7120
