Join us for a 60-minute musical adaptation of the 2003 Pixar movie Finding Nemo. With new music from the Frozen songwriting team, audiences and participants will enjoy songs such as “Just Keep Swimming,” “Fish Are Friends Not Food,” and “Go With the Flow." Taken from Music Theatre International: Marlin, an anxious and over-protective clownfish, lives in the Great Barrier Reef with his son Nemo, who longs to explore the world beyond their anemone home. But when Nemo is captured and taken to Sydney, Marlin faces his fears and sets off on an epic adventure across the ocean. With the help of lovable characters such as optimistic Dory, laid-back sea turtle Crush, and the supportive Tank Gang, Marlin and Nemo both overcome challenges on their journey to find each other and themselves. Student participants will learn the basics of theatre performing, plus a new look into puppetry and unique choreography. All registrants will be given a role; auditions are held the first day.
