ATP Kids fall 2026: Finding nemO Jr.
Just keep swimming!
Disney’s Finding Nemo JR is a 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.

CONFIDENCE. CREATIVITY. COLLABORATION.
At Alpine Theatre Project, young people learn to sing, dance, act, and stand in front of an audience. They also learn to show up for each other. Rehearsals ask students to listen closely, take direction, solve problems together, and trust that their part matters. Those habits outlast any one production. Our programs are open to students of all experience levels, and no student is ever turned away for financial reasons.
