Rehearsals for The Spongebob Musical began quickly into 2025 and received full dedication from the cast and crew for our March performances. Haverford Drama's hard work paid off with the endless applause from the audience and Cappies critics!
---
The Spongebob Musical also brought the opportunity to bring back our live pit orchestra during our performances. Conducted by David Fernandes, the "Bikini Bottom Band" helps to bring the show to life on a whole new level and immerse the audience into the story.
Drama Club continues its well-loved Sensory Friendly Performance, inviting those with sensory needs to be able to experience live theater in a comfortable environment. This adjusted performance includes the removal of sudden/loud noises, flashing lights, and an addition of a brighter house.
