ABOUT THE SHOW-

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.

Auditions

On the first day of class, students will be taught a song and a short dance combination. No need to prepare anything in advance!

ABOUT THE SHOW-

The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust that contains the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child sent off to military school for thinking too many "thinks." Horton faces a double challenge: not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant.

Auditions

Auditions: Thursday, January 9th (4:30-9:00PM)

Mandatory Cast/Parent Meeting (4:30-4:45PM)

Please arrive ten minutes early to check-in and have costume measurements and your photo taken before the mandatory cast/parent meeting begins. We ask that cast members wear a solid colored top.

The meeting should only last about 15 minutes, then parents will be dismissed.

Auditions will be ran a bit different for this show. No need to prepare a song in advance, however, you should be familiar with the songs from Seussical as we will read and sing from the show together. Please dress for movement and bring lots of water as well as a 3-ring binder for your script!

Actors should plan on staying for the duration of auditions. Auditions are closed to anyone not auditioning.
