A Note from the Director & Choreographer The SpongeBob musical presents such an amazing creative challenge of taking the beloved world of Bikini Bottom off of the screen into your living room and bringing it to life on the stage in musical form. The production’s collaborative team of creators have provided us with a unique opportunity to share this beautiful and heartfelt story through the lens of our favorite, silly undersea creatures. This small but mighty cast has so beautifully risen to the challenge of putting together a full scale production in just three weeks, and we would not be more thankful for their hard work and dedication. To the production team, Vahn Phollurxa and Tiffany Murphy, thank you for going above and beyond to create the most incredible production experience possible. To our founders - Shane & Erica Peterman and Kellie Carroll, thank you for creating such a special place for young artists to learn and grow. To our students and families, thank you for trusting us and joining us in this endeavor. And to my family and wonderful husband, thank you for entertaining all of my strange requests and always going above and beyond to ensure the success of our production! And to my sweet sister-in-law, congratulations on your last Acting Studio Production! Sharing this with you over the past 4 years has been the greatest blessing, and I am so excited to see you shine through your college experience. - Hannah I am so excited to be a part of this amazing team putting on The Spongebob Musical. This wonderful cast of performers have taken up the challenge of putting on a show that is both vocally and physically demanding. This show is a very fun and high energy show. The fact it is based on a Nickelodeon cartoon makes all the more fun and challenging for this cast of students. Spongebob Musical is created by a multitude of artists including; John Legend, Panic! at the Disco, Plain White T’s, David Bowie, and many more. Each artist contributed to at least one song in the show so it allows the cast to have a chance to try different styles of music. This show follows Spongebob on his journey to save the town and find out who is other than just a “Simple Sponge”. I would like to thank the entire production team of this show for granting me this opportunity once again to choreograph an Acting Studio Rockwall Show. I wish this wonderful, loving, beautiful and oh so energetic cast and family a wonderful show. I hope you are ready to see the show about the “Best Day Ever”. - Tiffany Citizens of Bikini Bottom M" "CsLhAots Adalyn Arrington Ashtyn Samantha Arrington Brizendine Kimmie Averleigh Baylor Corcoran Fisher Ford Carly Emily Fox Ford Maelie Heindel Citizens of Bikini Bottom M" "CsLhAots Riley Hunt Elise Mallory King King Jessie Molly Terra Prince Snowden Tougaw Britany Luke Webb Whitley Britt Witherspoon Bikini Bottom Day ( SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, Sandy, Mr. Krabs, Plankton, Karen, Company) Bikini Bottom Day (Reprise 1) (SpongeBob) No Control (Perch, SpongeBob, Mr. Krabs, Pearl, Squidward, Patrick, Sandy, Company) BFF (SpongeBob, Patrick) When the Going Gets Tough (Plankton, Karen, SpongeBob, Company) Just a Simple Sponge (SpongeBob, Company) Daddy Knows Best (Mr. Krabs, Pearl, Company) Hero Is My Middle Name (SpongeBob, Patrick, Sandy) Super Sea Star Savior (Patrick, Sardines) Tomorrow Is (Sandy, SpongeBob, Squidward, Mr. Krabs, Plankton, Karen, Company) Bikini Bottom Day (Reprise 2) (SpongeBob) Bikini Bottom Boogie (Electric Skates) Chop to the Top (Sandy, SpongeBob) (I Guess I) Miss You ( Patrick, SpongeBob) I’m Not a Loser (Squidward, Company) Just a Simple Sponge (Reprise) (SpongeBob) Best Day Ever (SpongeBob, Company) Bikini Bottom Day (Finale) (SpongeBob, Company) SpongeBob SquarePants Theme Song (Company) Samantha Brizendine (Larry Baylor Ford (Squidward Q. the Lobster, Sardine) is going Tentacles) is going into her into 5th grade at Nebbie junior year at Liberty University Elementary School.
