The Story
Dive Under the Sea
Dive under the sea with the Columbia Academy Drama Department in Disney's Finding Nemo JR.! Based on the beloved Pixar film, this musical adaptation follows Marlin, an anxious clownfish, on an unforgettable journey across the ocean to find his adventurous son, Nemo — with help from Dory, a forgetful but big-hearted blue tang, and a whole reef of new friends. Packed with humor, heart, and songs the whole family will love, it's a fin-tastic night of theater you won't want to miss.
