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)

Pioneer Trail, Aurora, OH 44202 SYNOPSIS: This internationally acclaimed comedy takes you deep into the most dangerous place on Earth: parenthood. What happens when two sets of parents meet up to deal with the unruly behavior of their children? A calm and rational debate between grown-ups about the need to teach kids how to behave properly? Or a hysterical night of name-calling, tantrums and tears before bedtime? Boys will be boys, but the adults are worse – much worse. Tony and Olivier Award-winning God of Carnage is a comedy of manners, without the manners. CHARACTERS: Any age, race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, body type, abilities, or other identities are encouraged to audition and will be considered equally in character casting, unless directly specified by the playwright as integral to their story. Age/age ranges, genders, and descriptions, if listed, are recommendations by the script but are flexible to interpretation. No roles for this production have been precast unless otherwise stated in marketing announcements regarding the auditions. VERONICA NOVAK (Female, Age Range 25+, All ethnicities) At first she seems like the most benevolent of the bunch. Instead of resorting to litigation regarding her son Henry’s injury, she believes that they can all come to an agreement about how Benjamin should make amends for his attack. Of the four principles, Veronica exhibits the strongest desire for harmony. MICHAEL NOVAK (Male, Age Range 25+, All ethnicities) At first, Michael seems eager to create peace between the two boys and perhaps even bond with the Raleigh’s. He offers them food and drink. He is quick to agree with the Raleigh’s, even making light of the violence, commenting on how he was a leader of his own gang during his childhood. ANNETTE RALEIGH (Female, Age Range 30+, All ethnicities) Ferdinand’s mother is constantly on the brink of a panic attack. In fact, she vomits twice during the course of the play. Unfortunately, the pressures of motherhood and household have eroded her self-confidence. Annette feels abandoned by her husband who is eternally preoccupied with work. Alan is glued to his cell phone throughout the play, until Annette finally loses control and drops the phone into a vase of tulips. Annette is the most physically destructive of the four characters. *Must be able to throw up believably onstage* ALAN RALEIGH (Male, Age Range 30+, All ethnicities) Alan might be the most stereotypical character of the group in that he is modeled after other slimy lawyers from countless other stories. He is the most openly rude because he frequently interrupts their meeting by talking on his cell phone. His law firm represents a pharmaceutical company that is about to be sued because one of their new products causes dizziness and other negative symptoms. He claims that his son is a savage and doesn’t see any point in trying to change him. He seems the most sexist of the two men, often implying that women have a host of limitations. OTHER DETAILS: Aurora Community Theatre is a 501c3 Non-Profit Organization. All actors cast are strictly volunteers. No AEA Contract(s) available. If you have any questions or would like to audition for this production, but are unable to attend regular auditions, please contact the director at bizchris85(a)gmail.com. Also feel free to reach out with any questions you may have regarding the production.

Hello, On February 13, 2026, I sent you a message <http://lists.neohiopal.org/pipermail/neohiopal-neohiopal.org/Week-of-Mon-20…> about the difficulty that Gmail "digest" users were having receiving Neohiopal posts. That situation has not improved. In fact it is getting worse; it now appears that Gmail users receiving messages one at a time are not getting all the posts. You can check this by comparing what you have received against the archives <http://lists.neohiopal.org/pipermail/neohiopal-neohiopal.org/>. We will continue to try to solve this problem. In the meantime, your best option is to subscribe with a different email service or check the archives <http://lists.neohiopal.org/pipermail/neohiopal-neohiopal.org/> regularly.
