KIDS MUSICAL THEATRE PROGRAM

Disney's Finding Nemo Kids

In Partnership with King Township

Our Children's Musical Theatre Program is back by popular demand! Kids ages 6-12 will work with experienced instructors to put on an officially licensed production of Disney's Finding Nemo Kids. Over the course of autumn 2025, children will learn how to sing, dance, and act, building fundamental theatre skills and confidence along the way.

The program will culminate in a performance for friends and family.

In our program, every child is a star! We prioritize inclusivity and fun just as much as learning. No experience is necessary—just bring your creativity and excitement! Make new friends and discover the magic of theatre.

About the Show

Disney’s Finding Nemo KIDS is a 30-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 KIDS brings a vibrant underwater world to life on stage in a story full of family, friendship, and adventure.

Program Structure

Over the course of ten engaging sessions, children will develop their singing, dancing, and acting skills while building confidence and essential performance techniques. Together, they’ll bring Disney’s Finding Nemo Kids to life in a memorable final performance.

In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know one another and understanding the importance of ensemble work. Together, we’ll begin learning a group number in a supportive, collaborative environment.

Roles will be assigned based on participation and enthusiasm during this session—no formal auditions required, making the process fun and stress-free. Every child will have the opportunity to shine in their own unique role.

Throughout the remaining sessions, the group will work together to bring the show to life. We’ll celebrate every child’s creativity and progress.

Our program culminates in a special performance for friends and family on Laskay Hall’s newly renovated stage during the latter portion of our eighth and final session on March 2nd.

Program Expectations

At our children’s educational programs, fun and creativity take centre stage! To make sure every participant has a fantastic experience, we follow a few important guidelines.

Respect

Children are expected to show respect for their fellow participants, instructors, and the environment we share.

Kindness & Support

Our programs thrive on teamwork and friendship. Every child is encouraged to uplift and support their peers. Bullying or unkind behaviour of any kind is not tolerated—our goal is to create a safe and welcoming space for everyone to shine.

Hard Work & Commitment

Participation is key! While sessions are designed to be fun and engaging, we also emphasize effort. Children are expected to enthusiastically participate in learning their scenes, songs, and choreography during rehearsals. Outside of class, there’s minimal homework—just memorizing lines and practicing to be ready for the next session.

Following these guidelines creates a positive, supportive environment where children can grow in confidence, build friendships, and develop valuable skills both on and off the stage.
