• Dory – An optimistic and bubbly blue tang, experiences frequent short-term memory loss and finds herself wandering through the ocean with no place to call home.
• Nigel, Sprit, Tiller & Jib – A knowledgeable pod of pelicans, are the show’s helpful narrators. These informative birds are responsible for conveying important plot points.
• Sea Chorus: Functions as the general ensemble, creating the environment of the play and becoming the characters that Marlin and Dory interact with on their journey to Sydney. Sea Chorus can be filled with any species of sea creatures you would like, but below are the featured roles that can emerge from this Ensemble: JELLYFISH, YOUNG SEA TURTLES (1 & 2), SMALL FISH, SEAHORSES (1 & 2), SEAGULLS, FISH are a school of fish, including FISH 1, REEF KIDS, REEF PARENTS, SHELDON’S PARENT, PEARL’S PARENT, TAD’S PARENT.
• Reef Kids: PEARL – a friendly flapjack octopus who is quick to befriend Nemo. / SHELDON – an H2O-intolerant seahorse with an appetite for trouble who taunts Nemo to swim beyond the reef. / TAD – a self-admittedly obnoxious butterflyfish who joins Sheldon in encouraging Nemo to swim past the Drop-Off
• Professor Ray – A stingray and Nemo’s enthusiastic teacher, takes pride in sharing the curiosities and marvels of the world with the class and encourages every student to be a brave explorer.
• Scuba Mask Dancer – A performer responsible for floating the diver’s mask through the water whenever it appears onstage. You can make this role’s choreography as complex or as simple as you like depending on your selected actor’s dance level and experience.
• Bruce – An intimidating great white shark, is the sharks’ ringleader. Despite Bruce’s best efforts to adopt a vegetarian diet, Bruce loses control and is sent into a frenzy, threatening to devour every fish in sight.
• Chum and Anchor – Two of Bruce’s shark friends, try to live vegetarian lifestyles but are eventually forced to restrain an out-of- control Bruce from eating innocent fish.
• Bubbles – A yellow tang who is captivated by bubbles, is one of the first to welcome Nemo to the tank. This friendly fish exclusively uses the word “bubbles” to communicate.
• Bloat – An open-minded and supportive blowfish, is proud to be part of the Tank Gang family and helps keep everyone’s spirits up, even when things seem bleak.
• Gurgle – Frightened of strangers and the germs they carry with them, is a royal gramma who enjoys the safety and regulated cleanliness of the tank.
• Peach – A mature and down-to-earth starfish, offers guidance and reassurance to all those who need it.
• Gill – A relentless and inspiring leader who will stop at nothing to return to the freedom of the ocean. This Moorish idol fish believes in the Tank Gang and concocts countless plans to bust them out of the aquarium. Gill is the first fish Nemo has ever met with a similar “fin difference,” quickly becoming a mentor and inspiration for the young clownfish.
• Sea Turtles & Sea Turtle Kids: Righteously mellow creatures featured in “Go With the Flow.” CRUSH – a 150-year-old sea turtle who knows how to hang loose, teaches Marlin a thing or two about being a good parent. Look for a strong singer who can confidently belt “Go With the Flow” to make it a truly radical jam. / SQUIRT – offspring of Crush, fearlessly twirls through turbulent waters of the ocean and enjoys trying out cool new moves in the high- speed EAC. / KAI and BREEZE each have individual singing solos in “Go With the Flow.”

ADDITIONAL DETAILS:

• AGES 5-7: You may sing a song of your choice -OR- Happy Birthday or Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. The audition will consist of singing and “call and response” acting. We are purposely keeping this audition easy and laid back as we realize this will be the first audition for some of our “littles”. 
• AGES 8-13: Please prepare a musical selection that shows off the character of your voice; please bring sheet music (pianist provided) or a backing track (no voices); you may blu-tooth to our stereo or bring a CD. Audition may also consist of readings from the script (provided at audition time).
• You do not need to make an audition appointment. To print and fill out the audition form ahead of time please click HERE.
• IMPORTANT: If you audition for our production and are cast it is expected you will follow through and do our production; failure to do so may prevent you from being cast in a future show as you will have possibly taken a spot from someone who was not cast. If you are auditioning ONLY for specific roles you may specify that on the audition form and you will only be considered for those roles. If you do not specify we will assume you will accept ANY role offered.
• There is a $150 production fee (ages 8-13) and $100 production fee (ages 5-7) associated with this production; this includes all rehearsal materials for the show, a show t-shirt, and professionally taken photos from the production. If you need financial assistance please fill out our Majestic Theatre Scholarship App Form — this should be done immediately AFTER casting as needing scholarship assistance is NOT a factor in casting.
• In addition, there is a $100 “Doing Your Part” deposit that you get back once all production support items are completed. See the DYP Requirements for these expectations. This form will be submitted electronically at the end of the production (we don’t want your $$, we want your help).
