South Middle School will proudly present “Disney’s Finding Nemo JR.” on Thursday, March 21 and Friday, March 22 at 7 p.m., and Saturday, March 23 at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. All performances will take place in the school auditorium, 349 Lakeville Rd.
This stage adaptation includes all the popular characters from the beloved Pixar movie. 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.
