Tiger Talk: 'Finding Nemo, Jr.' to be staged at Pine River-Backus School

Students at Pine River-Backus School are busy preparing for their fall musical, Disney’s "Finding Nemo, Jr." The cast includes 28 students in grades 6-12 with one senior this year, Adelynne Frank. Adelynne is a wonderful mentor to the younger students. It is always nice to have experienced actors in the cast to help introduce the new participants to the world of theater. The multi-grade participation is something that makes the fall musical a truly unique experience. These students have to sing, dance and act. It is a lot of work, but very rewarding in the end. It is a big time commitment as rehearsals are nearly every day after school, but watching all that hard work come to fruition is a lot of fun. The cast includes students who are involved in Knowledge Bowl, football, volleyball, cheerleading, band and choir. Despite the challenge of juggling schedules, it is nice to see so many diverse activities represented in the cast.
