River Junctions Arts Council proudly presents the cast, creative team, orchestra, and crew of The SpongeBob Musical

Our cast includes performers of all ages from Wabasha and many neighboring communities, making this a true community theatre production. Families, friends, students, alumni, and longtime community members have come together to create something special.

While many people know the characters from television, The SpongeBob Musical is a Broadway musical adaptation with an entertaining story about community. It features memorable music, plenty of laughs, and a lot of heart. It’s a show that audiences of all ages can enjoy together.

Whether you’re coming for the music, the comedy, the incredible talent on stage, or simply to support local theatre, we hope you’ll join us and see what our community has created.
