When the citizens of Bikini Bottom discover that a volcano will soon erupt and destroy their humble home, SpongeBob and his friends must come together to save the fate of their undersea world.

The Summer Youth Program is open to children ages seven through high-school senior. Through the Youth Summer Program, children gain experience in many of the areas of theatre such as acting, learning lines, making costumes, helping with set construction, and helping backstage.

The Summer Youth Program, established as Fairy Tale Theatre in 1986 by Don and Kathryn Resio, is celebrating its 41st season in 2026. Many of the props and sets have been made by our parents, whose participation is essential to the success of our program. We need interested adults to help in all areas.
