A Broadway Show With Every American President
by Jennifer Ashley Tepper - Aug 23, 2026
Theatre has always intersected with politics, and the presence of American presidents in Broadway, off-Broadway, and regional theatre plays and musicals is a major part of this. Did you know that all of our heads of state have been featured in shows, whether as characters or as plot points that are part of the action? Dramatizing current and former leaders of our nation is a way to examine their affect on society at the time and how political events, even those of many years ago, still impact us all.

Review: THE SPONGEBOB MUSICAL at Center Stage Theatre
by Sean Fallon - Jul 24, 2026
On Thursday, July 23rd, I had the pleasure of experiencing another phenomenally-performed show at Center Stage Theatre, in Shelton, CT, THE SPONGEBOB MUSICAL. Directors Rob Esposito and Katie Sedlock combine their talents with the rest of the crew and this amazing young cast to give the audience yet another first-rate performance! The special effects are spectacular! Images creating an under-the-sea feel are projected on the back stage wall. It looks so real when the images shake in accordance with the tremors and accompanying sound effects. The cast furthermore sells these special effects by acting in accordance with them.

Review: THE SPONGEBOB MUSICAL at Portland Playhouse
by Krista Garver - May 7, 2026
When I saw Portland Playhouse's 2025–2026 season announced, the show I was most irrationally excited about was THE SPONGEBOB MUSICAL. I’m far from an expert on the SpongeBob SquarePants universe, but I've watched enough episodes to have completely fallen for the little yellow sponge in square pants and a tie whose greatest ambition in life is to be the best fry cook at the Krusty Krab.
