SAAC’s Penguin Project Performance of Finding Nemo
September 28 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
The Penguin Project allows children with differing needs to perform in a live stage production in front of an audience. Each artist is paired with a mentor of a similar age who guides them through the production from start to finish helping them to learn lines, dances, songs, and stage blocking. Each artist and their mentor operate as a symbiotic pair throughout the entire process, including appearing on stage together.
“Finding Nemo, Kids” is a musical that follows the adventurous journey of a timid clownfish named Marlin and his spirited son, Nemo, who is captured by a diver and placed in a fish tank. With the help of Dory, a forgetful but friendly blue tang, Marlin embarks on a quest across the ocean to rescue his son. Along the way, they encounter various sea creatures, face challenges, and learn valuable lessons about bravery, friendship, and the importance of family. The musical features catchy songs, vibrant characters, and a heartwarming message.
