Mighty Goliath Productions (MGP), a long-standing supporter of the Avon Lake City Schools Performing Arts programs, is excited to announce their upcoming production of Nickelodeon™  “The SpongeBob Musical” presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals (www.concordtheatricals.com).

The stakes are higher than ever in this dynamic stage musical, as SpongeBob and all of Bikini Bottom face the total annihilation of their undersea world. Chaos erupts. Lives hang in the balance. And just when all hope seems lost, a most unexpected hero rises up and takes center stage. The power of optimism can really save the world!

Directed by Kevin Cline, this group of 100% volunteers has been meeting since late September to rehearse. Actors, musicians, technical team, and production staff volunteer their time each week to bring this story to life.

This is Kevin Cline’s Directorial debut with MGP, as well as for Assistant Director Timothy Richard Parks and Stage Manager Kathy Whitmore. Rounding out the rest of the production staff are Producer Janine Mackert, Assistant Stage Manager Marisa Mullner, Technical Director Tony Radca, Choreographer Nicci Cassara Billington, Costume Designer Amy Lence, Marketing Director/Co-Producer Catherine Reeves, and Set Design team of Jennifer Gercak, Jason White and Dave Friedel. The rest of the cast, crew, and orchestra are made up of a combination of Avon Lake and Northeast Ohio students, residents, and talented volunteers who have come out to support this fundraising effort.

Over the past 64 years MGP has donated over $280,000 to the Avon Lake performing arts programs and is excited to get back to their traditional larger show format on stage after a smaller production last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
