He is currently a student at Marist University, where he is majoring in Political Science and minoring in Theatre. Along with also being in the cast of RENT last month, some of his favorite past roles at DGS include The Emcee in CHICAGO: TEEN EDITION (2024), Davey in NEWSIES (2023), Santa in ELF JR.

Andre Moquete

Squidward Q. Tentacles

Hi my name is Andre and this is my second show at Drama Geeks! My first show I did at DGS was CHICAGO: TEEN EDITION where I played the role of Amos! My favorite moments in Drama Geeks are getting to spend the summer with all the people I love while making music! Drama Geeks is a place where I can feel comfortable and have a great time and I am thankful for all the time I’ve gotten to spend here.

Sofia Hallak

Sheldon J. Plankton

Until the start of Spongebob, I had only been in four shows, two of which were full-length. My previous shows (& roles) were the Young Kangaroo in SEUSSICAL KIDS, Zazu in THE LION KING KIDS, Ensemble in MATILDA JR, & the White Rabbit in ALICE IN WONDERLAND. Out of all of them, this is my first time playing such a large role, and it's very exciting! Overall, being a part of SPONGEBOB THE MUSICAL has been a very fun experience & I'm so glad I decided to audition. Being on stage is definitely nerve-wracking, but that's what makes it fun. A good way to deal with "stage-fright" is by turning the fear into excitement, & really embodying the character you play, whether it's big or small. I've had a great time working & preforming with the cast, & I'm so thrilled to see what the future holds!

Emily Wallace

Karen the Computer

My name is Emily Wallace, and I am so excited to play the role of Karen the Computer in SPONGEBOB THE MUSICAL ! I’ve been involved in productions at DGS since 2017, and I always have the best time doing shows here. You might have seen me in the ensemble of RENT these past two weekends — and if not, you may recognize me from some of the other fantastic productions I’ve been lucky to be a part of. I’m so thrilled to share all the hard work we’ve put in over the last few months! Huge thanks to the entire production team for their creativity, support, and guidance throughout this process. To my fellow cast members, break a leg — and to the audience, I hope you enjoy the show!

Maddie DiDomenico

Pearl Krabs (Costumer)

After 6 years and many shows at Drama Geek Studios, a fun and bubbly show like SPONGEBOB THE MUSICAL was the perfect way to end the summer season! I am very grateful to have had an opportunity to be involved with this show not just backstage with costumes, but onstage as well!

Drew Renaldo

Mr. Eugene Krabs

Drew is thrilled to return to the stage as the money-loving crustacean Mr. Krabs in THE SPONGEBOB MUSICAL! Drew’s past performances include John Truitt (MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS), Edna Turnblad (HAIRSPRAY), Annas (JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR), LeFou (BEAUTY & THE BEAST), Jacob Marley (A CHRISTMAS CAROL), Lt. Kendrick (A FEW GOOD MEN), and Featured Ensemble (RENT). In addition to acting, Drew has also written and directed a memorable production of ALICE IN WONDERLAND, performed here at The Historic Crescent Theater this past May. Drew dedicates this performance to two of the most influential people in his life: his late uncle Barry, a passionate lover of theater and music, and his late father Robert, whose memory continues to inspire him every single day.

Noah Renaldo

Perch Perkins

Since debuting as Seagull #1 in his middle school’s production of THE LITTLE MERMAID JR., Noah has been hooked on performing and hasn’t looked back. THE SPONGEBOB MUSICAL marks his 20th production in just four years! Favorite past roles include Moose (EVIL DEAD), Turkey Boy (A CHRISTMAS CAROL), IQ (HAIRSPRAY), Fletcher (FREAKY FRIDAY JR), Lord Farquaad (SHREK JR.), and Jack Kelly (NEWSIES JR.). Noah plays the trumpet, is a self-taught guitarist, and is a much better dancer than he gives himself credit for. He thanks you for supporting this show and the arts in our community.

Niko Thornton

Perch Perkins

I have been doing shows for almost 4 years now. I have done a couple shows but some of my favorites were ELF JR., THE LION KING, NEWSIES, and A CHRISTMAS CAROL. One of my favorites scene in the show would probably be the end of No Control because Patrick keeps screaming after everyone else stops.

Steve Johnson

Patchy the Pirate / Electric Skate #1

So many fun roles...Pirate, Father, Rock Star, Headless Body, Hooker. Had a blast in every role. Had the opportunity to dabble in special effects. Blood cannons!!! Words of advice...Don't worry about screwing up. The audience has no clue. They will judge us on the entire production, not on a few missteps or forgotten lines. Just do your best no matter how big or small your part is!!! Have fun!!!

Macy O'Shea

The Mayor of Bikini Bottom (Dance Captain)

Les - NEWSIES, Matilda - MATILDA, the Mad Hatter - ALICE IN WONDERLAND, Lavender - MATILDA JR, Scar - THE LION KING KIDS, Genie - ALADDIN KIDS. My favorite moment has been getting to make fun of Sofia's (Plankton's) height in the show, even though she is taller than me by a couple inches! Another favorite moment is getting to be a dance captain and a featured dancer in many awesome songs.

Elijah Furey

Larry the Lobster

Be the best person you can be and don’t let anyone talk you out of doing what you love

Dan Reed

Old Man Jenkins

Very happy to be performing with you all!!!

Kristin Polster

Mrs. Puff

This is my acting debut. Being a musician, I have performed onstage throughout my life, but never acted. As you age, don't let that number or birth year deter you from learning new things. I learned to ride a motorcycle at nearly age 40, became a drummer at 50 and an actor at 51. Never stop dreaming and reaching for the stars!

Adelyn Renaldo

Gary

Addie began her performing arts journey as Buttons in DGS’s production of NEWSIES—and she hasn’t looked back since! She’s since taken on her dream role of Chip in BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, as well as memorable characters like Lavender and Amanda Thripp in MATILDA, the Thrilla Caterpilla in ALICE IN WONDERLAND: AN ORIGINAL ADAPTATION, Tiny Tim in A CHRISTMAS CAROL, and a Deadite Baby in EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL. Addie has also been featured in the ensemble of shows including ELF THE MUSICAL JR., HAIRSPRAY, and JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR. She loves to dance and sing, and is currently working on a stage play, which she hopes to debut right here at The Historic Crescent Theater. She’s thrilled to bring Gary to life—Meow!

Jamie LeMelledo

Electric Skate #2

I started doing shows at a very young age. As an adult I gave it up not realizing how much I truly loved performing. I decided about 2 years ago to go back and that's when I found this amazing, cute little theatre who welcomed me with open arms. You are never too old to stop believing in yourself and living your dreams! Anything is possible when you have God on your side!

Cainaan DiDomenico

Electric Skate #3

Cainaan returns to the stage in THE SPONGEBOB MUSICAL, where he takes on the role of Electric Skate #3. His previous credits include Joey Primo (ROCK OF AGES), Duane (HAIRSPRAY), Ash’s Hand (EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL), and John (JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR). Cainaan has also appeared in shadow cast productions of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW—portraying Brad, Eddie, and Dr. Scott in various performances—and REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA as The Grave Robber.

Kelly lucked into her role as Stage Manager / Stage Mom here at DGS; after all her whole family is here! Although she's been involved behind the scenes in every show since 2024's ROCK OF AGES, Kelly has only been on stage once as an ensemble member in JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR. Kelly takes care of everyone in the cast and crew and supports all of their crazy dreams! She loves every second she gets to spend here, whether backstage or in the booth!
