Description:

Audition for "Disney and Pixar’s Finding Nemo" Play. Casting child/teen actors. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Rate: $525.86 weekly minimum About the project: SYNOPSIS: This streamlined theatrical adaptation of Finding Nemo follows Marlin, an overprotective clownfish, as he journeys across the ocean to find his son Nemo, who has been captured and placed in a dentist’s fish tank. Along the way, Marlin teams up with Dory, a forgetful but optimistic companion, encountering a series of oceanic characters who challenge his fear, grief, and need for control. Designed for young audiences, the production emphasizes ensemble storytelling, physical theater, and character doubling. Note: This TYA version is heavily ensemble-based. Actors often play multiple roles, shift between narration and character, and use stylized physicality to create environments. Additional info: Please prepare 1 short contemporary monologue and 1 short song (to be considered for A Christmas Carol, Hairspray, and Disney and Pixar's Finding Nemo) in the style of Hairspray. Bring sheet music in the key that you plan on singing along with your headshot and resume. An accompanist will be provided. Auditions may not exceed 3 minutes total. Genre: Family Adventure / Musical-Style Story Theatre Rehearsals Start: March 8, 2027 Performance Run: April 7 - May 2, 2027 Source Material: Finding Nemo If interested, please apply.

2 roles

NEMOMale8-14 y.o.All ethnicities

Curious, spirited young clownfish with a smaller fin that makes him feel different. Nemo is eager to prove himself and gain independence from his father. His storyline is about courage, agency, and resilience under confinement in the tank. Youthful energy, strong vocal clarity, and emotional accessibility required. Must handle both vulnerability and bravery without caricature.

DARLAFemale8-14 y.o.All ethnicities

The dentist’s energetic niece whose chaotic enthusiasm poses danger to the fish tank. Appears briefly but memorably as a force of comic disruption. High-energy physical comedy role. Must commit fully to bold, heightened behavior.
