Des Moines Community Playhouse

Penguin+ Finding Nemo Jr. is an introductory theatre class for youth with disabilities, ages 10–13, who are just beginning their theatre journey.

The program runs for 11 Tuesdays from November 4, 2025, to January 13, 2026, from 5:30–7:00 PM. A family showcase will be held on the final day of class.

Participants will build foundational theatre skills—such as acting, vocal work, and stage presence—in a fun, supportive environment. Each Artist will be paired with a Mentor who learns alongside them, offering friendship and encouragement throughout the process.

The program concludes with a 30-minute performance featuring short scenes and songs from Finding Nemo Jr., giving young performers a chance to shine and share what they've learned.
