Squidward Pants Needed
by lisa hirzel 07 Mar '26

07 Mar '26

Hello, Fellow Theatre Lovers, I am directing and costuming a school production of The Spongebob Musical and, if you know you know: I am hoping to borrow (or rent?) *The Squidward Pants*. Or, even just the legs mechanism and I will put pants and shoes on them. Our show is the last week of April, I would ideally like to borrow them for at least 2 weeks so my actor can get used to them. If you have access to these, thank you for considering helping out a middle school production. Our young actor is adult-sized, so no worry if your pants were meant for an adult. Please email me at Hirzel51(a)gmail.com if you are able to help out or you can point me in the right direction. Thank you! Lisa Hirzel Longfellow Middle School Drama Club (and longtime NEOHIOPAL subscriber)
