Auditions
Auditions for the Abbey Players summer youth production, Finding Nemo Jr., will be held on Saturday March 2 from 12-3 pm. Those auditioning must be between the ages of 10 and 18. If cast, you will be responsible for a $35 show fee that will be used to defray the cost of the set, costumes, props, etc.
Disney’s Finding Nemo Jr. is a musical adaptation of the beloved film, with new music written by the songwriters of Frozen. This production originated as an attraction at Disney World and has been expanded for the community theatre stage. 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.
Please note that many roles in this show are purposely written to be gender-neutral, meaning that anyone can audition for them. See the breakdown on the audition form here, which includes a tentative rehearsal/performance schedule and should be filled out prior to auditions.
At auditions, you will be asked to do the following:
1. Sing roughly 1 minute of a musical theatre song, ideally one sung by the character you're auditioning for. Unless you bring your own track and play it on your phone, singing auditions will be a capella. We will also test your vocal range by asking you to sing scales along with the piano.
2. Read a scene in character. It does NOT need to be memorized. We will have copies of the side at auditions, but, if you'd like to work on the scene ahead of time, you can find it here.
