Audition Sign-up Link

Out of respect for everyone’s time, we require all actors to sign up for an audition slot, whether they are auditioning in person or submitting a virtual audition.

Please note: If all in-person audition slots are filled, you will need to sign up for a virtual audition instead.

Actors who are interested in auditioning for Spongebob should prepare the following:

1) Review the Information Packet above & sign up for an in-person or virtual audition slot.

2) Prepare & print a short performing arts resume, which highlights any acting, dance, or vocal experience that the actor has. If the auditioner has no prior performing arts experience, they could include other activities that they enjoy or skills that they may have. This resume should also include a recent picture or headshot of the actor.

3) Acting Portion:

Choose a side from the Acting Audition Doc linked above to memorize and perform.

• Auditioners should choose one character’s part to read on their side; the parts of other characters will be read by someone on the audition panel.

• Feel free to gender-bend.

• Not sure who a character is? Scroll down to view our Character Breakdown.

4) Vocal Portion:

Choose a musical selection from the Music Audition Material slide deck linked above to prepare and perform at your audition.

• Auditioners may not choose a song outside of these selections to present at the audition. Only the song selections provided by East End are acceptable.

• We will have instrumental tracks available at your audition. We recommend that you prepare a second selection as well, as we may ask to hear something else.

• Please note: If you are having a hard time playing the tracks, try clicking “slideshow” at the top of the page. This should make the links easily clickable.

5) Dance Portion:

Please memorize one of the following dance combinations.

Please Note: depending on the role that you desire, there may be more than one combination to learn.

  • Bikini Bottom Day (2:52-3:02)
