(Seguin) -- Are you ready kids?...I can’t hear you!

Families in Seguin are invited to grab their tickets for this weekend’s theater production of The SpongeBob Musical. Bringing the sea to the stage is the San AntonioNew Braunfels branch of Christian Youth Theater (CYT).

Four shows are scheduled throughout the weekend at Texas Lutheran University’s Jackson Auditorium.

Bobby Tschoepe, the show’s artistic director at New Braunfels says the SpongeBob Musical has all the fun energy of the TV show while also taking an intelligent dive into important messages.

“What is so funny is that a lot of people expect to come see the show, expecting either like a theme park production or the silly goofiness of the TV show and it’s absolutely a blast. It is so much fun but the show is way more intelligent than people would expect. There are some really beautiful messages about friendship, about not knowing what your place is and finding your place -- the value of family and of friendship and the music in the show is just phenomenal. Each musical number is written by a different popular music artist. There are songs written by Sara Bareilles, Lady Antebellum -- there is music by Panic! at the Disco; Aerosmith -- that are all written specifically for SpongeBob but you get so many genres of music in the production. That makes it really special and really unique,” said Tschoepe.

Tschoepe says what makes the production even more special is the talent that will be showcased this weekend by the CYT students.
