A 4-week Summer Performance Camp for intermediate to advanced actors ages 10-14

ABOUT THE CAMP:

StageStruck campers ages 10-14 will work with StarStruck teaching artists Courtney Stokes and Francesca Cipponeri for 4 weeks to rehearse and perform Finding Nemo Jr. on the big stage at Ohlone College. Each day campers will work on singing, dancing, and acting skills while rehearsing Finding Nemo Jr. An average day consists of mostly rehearsing the show, but we will also play games and have breakout sessions focused on building audition skills, dance technique, and acting.

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.

Featuring memorable songs such as “Just Keep Swimming,” “Fish Are Friends Not Food,” and “Go With the Flow,” Finding Nemo JR. brings a vibrant underwater world to life on stage in a story full of family, friendship, and adventure.
