Disney’s Finding Nemo JR. is a 60-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.

SHOW DATES ARE: Aug. 18-19

REHEARSALS WILL TYPICALLY BE A MIX OF THUR 6-8PM, SATURDAYS 9AM-12PM AND A FEW SUNDAYS 6-8. There will be additional rehearsals during tech week.
