This week marked an exciting milestone for Gibson Southern Theatre as rehearsals officially began for The SpongeBob Musical! On Monday, the cast kicked things off with their first full run-through of the show, bringing everyone together for the very first look at this colorful and high-energy production.
Like any first rehearsal, there were a few nerves in the room—but they were quickly balanced by excitement and enthusiasm. Everyone involved is happy to be part of the process, and there’s a strong sense of teamwork already forming as the cast begins the journey of building Bikini Bottom from the ground up.
The first run-through gave students a chance to see how the story, music, and characters come together, setting the foundation for the weeks of rehearsals ahead. While there is still a lot of work to do, the energy in the room shows just how special this production is shaping up to be.
Our rehearsal process starts with a full cast vocal day on Mondays where we get together to work on the vocals that make the show! Tuesday through Thursday actors worked on five scenes – perfecting their characters and telling the story we are so excited to bring you this spring!
The SpongeBob Musical will take the stage March 13-15, 2026 at the Gibson Southern Theatre. With rehearsals just getting started, this is only the beginning—and it’s only going to get more fun from here!
