2024 Penguin Project: Finding Nemo Jr!


Disney’s Finding Nemo Jr. is a 60-minute 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.

What is the Penguin Project?


Established in 2004, the Penguin Project has evolved into a national program, with chapter sites throughout the United States. The program provides a supportive environment for children with disabilities to explore their creative talents. In FoCAL's Penguin Project production, special needs high school students from Forsyth County schools perform a modified version of a well-known Broadway musical in the FoCAL Center main stage theatre. They are joined on stage by a dedicated group of “peer mentors” – children the same age without disabilities who have volunteered to work side-by-side with them through rehearsals and through the final performances. By providing access to community theater, the Penguin Project demonstrates that the special challenges of a disability should not handicap a child’s ability to participate in life’s experiences.

Lambert HS and Haw Creek ES will be at each show selling their delicious dog treats! These treats are homemade by special education students, teaching them independence and important life skills!
