Plucky, Resilient And Heartwarming: Summer Theater Camp Young Professionals Perform This Beloved Story

Like their professional counterparts, each actor had to audition for this cast performing a monologue and a show tune for the artistic director. Once accepted, the campers have been in intensive classes and rehearsals to prepare for opening night.
Finding Nemo JR. features new songs written by Award-Winning Composers Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, who have won Emmy®, Grammy®, Oscar® and Tony® Awards.

Described as plucky, resilient and heartwarming, this musical follows the adventures of Marlin, a timid clownfish, and his son, Nemo. After Nemo is captured on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and taken to Sydney, he and Marlin face challenges and adventures on their journey to be reunited.
