Join us in the Big Blue World for our 2027 Broadway Stars Mainstage Production, DISNEY’S FINDING NEMO JR.! Finding Nemo Jr. is a musical adaptation of the beloved 2003 Pixar movie that features music by award-winning songwriting team Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez (Frozen, Avenue Q) and brings a vibrant underwater world to life on stage in a story full of family, friendship, and adventure. ABOUT THE PROGRAM: Broadway Stars was created by a professional performer turned child development specialist with the primary goal of helping children develop the foundational skills and technique every musical theater performer needs while giving them the opportunity to find their voice, build confidence, and do what every budding Broadway Star loves most: PERFORM! Classes are taught by a team of professional teaching artists with years of experience both in the classroom and on professional stages, and feature a customized curriculum designed to challenge and showcase the strengths of each young performer. PRODUCTION ADMIN FEE INCLUDES: *Tech Week Rehearsals *4 tickets to our production (Additional tickets will be available to purchase closer to the performance) *Scripts & other class materials *Costumes (Families will NOT be asked to go out and purchase items for the show but may be asked to bring clothing you already own.) *Props & Sets *Week Long Rental at The Biograph Theater AFTER SCHOOL PICK-UP: Stages offers after school pick-up from Skinner West, Skinner West Branch, Montessori Academy of Chicago, Intercultural Montessori & World Language Academy. You can add in "extras" for $40 for the semester! WHAT TO EXPECT: -- Weeks 1-2 (Jan 11 - Jan 23): Setting the Stage — Families who are new to Stages are invited to join us for a FREE TRIAL the week of January 11-16, 2027. Email info@stageschicago.com to set up a trial class! The first two weeks of the semester will focus on learning and perfecting the foundational musical theater skills every Broadway Star needs when performing on stage. Classes will participate in acting games and begin to learn music and choreography for their auditions. These first two weeks of the semester also allow our teachers to get to know students and start to determine which scenes, songs, and roles will be the best fit for each child. -- Weeks 3-4 (Jan 25 - Feb 6): I Hope I Get It! -- During weeks 3-4 of the semester, students will participate in a personalized audition process. Auditions at Stages are designed to be a low stress, fun experience where Broadway Stars get to show off what they’ve been learning the first few weeks of the semester and tell us what they are most excited to do in the show. Every audition will look different as every child is different. For children who are new to performing or nervous about auditioning, this will be an informal, low-stakes experience. For children who have been performing for a while or are ready for a challenge, this will be treated as a more formal audition. HOW DOES CASTING WORK? Each class will perform specific scenes and songs from our musical, not the entire musical. Classes will come together for the final performance to perform the show in its entirety. NEW FOR 2027, our Grade 2-5 casts will be taking a step toward more traditional casting where each character is played by the same student for several scenes rather than a new student playing the role each scene. EVERY CHILD WILL BE GIVEN A ROLE OR SPECIAL PART IN THE SHOW. We will work together with participants to make sure they have a speaking line, solo, duet, etc. that they are excited to perform! -- Weeks 5-13 (Feb 8 - Apr 16): Putting It Together -- During Weeks 5-12, children will begin putting together their show! Each week, classes will work on their assigned scenes and songs. During these classes, we will focus on learning and rehearsing musical numbers and choreography, blocking acting scenes, and introducing various theatrical elements that will be used in our show such as sets, props, and costumes. Don’t worry, it’s not all work. Classes will also have the opportunity to play theater games designed to introduce new performance skills and brush up on concepts we’ve learned in previous classes. -- Weeks 13-17 (April 19 - May 15): Prepping for Opening Night -- Classes will begin running doing “Run Thrus” where they perform all of their scenes and songs from start to finish. We’ll also start adding in transitions so performers know when and how to enter/exit the stage, when to get microphones, make a costume change, or pick up a prop from the prop table. These classes are VERY important and we ask that you do your best to ensure your child is at every class unless they are ill. -- Week 18: Tech Week: Tuesday, May 18 - Friday, May 21 -- The week of the show, we will be having rehearsal after school May 18-May 21 where ALL of the classes are brought together to run the show in the space. These rehearsals will be MANDATORY. SHOW DATES: May 22-23, 2027 SHOW LOCATION: The Biograph Theatre (2433 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL 60614) --Week 19 (May 24 - 29): Cast Party! Students will attend their usual class time at their rehearsal location to celebrate and reminisce on their performance experience! DISNEY'S FINDING NEMO, JR.
