Finding Nemo Jr. - Level 2
Winter Theater Program for Grades 1st to 6th
Join us at 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney, Australia and the Big Blue Sea for "Finding Nemo Jr". This portion of the program is open to students 1st grade to 6th grade.Level 2: Finding Nemo Jr.
Our Level 2 program is designed for young performers who are ready for a more involved musical theatre experience. Students will rehearse twice each week and may be considered for leading, featured and ensemble roles in our production of Finding Nemo Jr.
This level is a great fit for students who are comfortable onstage, have participated in theatre before, or are ready for the additional rehearsal commitment that comes with putting together a full musical.
Who Can Participate?
Level 2 is open to 1st grade and up, as well as 1st graders who feel confident onstage, have previous performance experience, or are ready for a twice-weekly rehearsal schedule.
Parents of 1st graders may choose between Level 1 and Level 2 based on their child's experience, confidence and readiness for the larger commitment.
