Melbourne and Sydney: Finding Nemo KIDS
January 20 – 23, 2025
Over four jam-packed days girls and boys in Grade 3 to 7, will work with our dynamic team of performing arts specialists to put together a production of Disney’s Finding Nemo KIDS.
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.
For children starting school in 2025 or moving up to Grades 1 and 2, we will be offering a two or three day Holiday Program where junior participants can develop their singing, dance and drama skills in a nurturing and creative environment. Our junior Holiday Program features a special showcase concert of its own – the perfect opportunity to show off new skills to friends and family!
