FHS Performs The Spongebob Musical

The sea was alive at Franklin High's sensory mindful production of The Spongebob Musical on March 31. 

This special performance was the first of its kind at FHS. Unlike the other shows, this particular production eliminated fog machines and flashing lights, toned down the special effect sound cues and cut the number of available tickets from 500 to 300 to allow for more space for audience members.

"Just like Old Man Jenkins says in the musical 'Bikini Bottom is for all,' we believe that theater should be for all," said FHS Theater Director Haley Miller. "That's why we wanted to create a performance that truly encompassed that belief."

Franklin High Transition 2 students were offered up to six free tickets each so their families could also attend. Miller says more than 200 people were at the special showing, which she hopes will become a fixture at FHS.

"It was such a great night," said Miller. "I'm so proud of our students, and I hope we continue to grow this opportunity in the future."
