For the second production in the new season, the GCA is thrilled and excited to present a family friendly musical so fun, energetic and wonderful that it will animate the souls of its audience. “The SpongeBob Musical” opened on Broadway in December of 2017, and among its cast was actor and QACHS graduate Matt Wood, who returned to the area 2 years ago to headline the Garfield Center’s Gala. The show will run weekends from May 1 through May 17 and its director is Steven Arnold.

In this original “SpongeBob” story, the citizens of Bikini Bottom face impending doom when a volcano is about to erupt. With the destruction of their homes looming, SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy team up to save the town, while other residents grapple with fear, greed, and attempts to exploit the crisis. The creators of the show commissioned a score of songs from an amazing assortment of contemporary music artists that include Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith, Sara Bareilles, Cyndi Lauper, John Legend, The Flaming Lips, Panic at the Disco, and They Might Be Giants, among others.
