Synopsis

Disney’s Finding Nemo KIDS is a 30-minute musical adaptation of the beloved 2003 Pixar movie Finding Nemo, with new music by award-winning songwriting team Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez. Marlin, an anxious and over-protective clownfish, lives in the Great Barrier Reef with his kid 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.

What is an Education Institute?

Campers between the ages of 5-13 will study basic theatre, voice, and dance concepts while working on getting the show performance-ready. While each child that registers for the institute will have a role in the show, students will go through an audition and callback process. Our performance institute is the perfect outlet for children to make their theatrical debut, or to further enhance their performance skills. The institute will also introduce students to the basics of producing a show, as well as creating the props, costumes, and set pieces used. Tuition covers the cost of supplies needed for each child, as well as a show t-shirt to take home after the show.
