JUNIOR AUDITION: Finding Nemo Kids - BG Performing Arts

Title: Finding Nemo Kids – July 2025 Holiday Workshop

Presented By: BG Performing Arts

Genre: Youth Musical Theatre

About: Dive into the underwater world of Finding Nemo Kids in this exciting school holiday workshop for young performers aged 6–12. Over one fun-filled week, participants will rehearse and perform a junior version of the beloved Pixar musical, exploring singing, dancing, and acting under the guidance of professional theatre-makers. This workshop is a brilliant opportunity for budding stars to develop their performance skills, make new friends, and build confidence in a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment.

Synopsis: Marlin, an anxious clownfish, lives a quiet life in the Great Barrier Reef with his son, Nemo—until Nemo is captured and taken to Sydney. Marlin sets off across the ocean, encountering unforgettable characters like the optimistic Dory, the cool sea turtle Crush, and the determined Tank Gang. Together, they all learn about courage, friendship, and the meaning of family.
