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. Featuring memorable songs such as “Just Keep Swimming,” “Fish Are Friends Not Food,” and “Go With the Flow,” Finding Nemo JR. brings a vibrant underwater world to life on stage in a story full of family, friendship, and adventure.

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. Featuring memorable songs such as “Just Keep Swimming,” “Fish Are Friends Not Food,” and “Go With the Flow,” Finding Nemo JR. brings a vibrant underwater world to life on stage in a story full of family, friendship, and adventure.

Second Helping- The Original Lynyrd Skynyrd Show

Event by Peoples Bank Theatre and Second Helping   222 Putnam St, Marietta, OH, United States, Ohio 45750     Public  · Anyone on or off Facebook Second Helping: The Original Lynyrd Skynyrd Tribute Show is the longest-running national Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute in the world. They are dedicated to bringing Skynyrd music to you as you remember it. Second Helping began in 1988 in Jacksonville, Florida. Second Helping guitarist Chris McCallister was invited by his friend Lynyrd Skynyrd guitarist Ed King to a rehearsal at the Lynyrd Skynyrd rehearsal studio located at Larkin Collins’ office. During the rehearsal, Chris asked the members how long they planned to continue touring. Various Skynyrd members responded, “Just this year as a tribute to our fans,” Chris replied, “What? Someone ought to do a tribute to you guys!” At that point, some Skynyrd members, especially Gary Rossington, laughed. Rossington said to McCallister, “What, like Beatlemania?” McCallister was embarrassed because Rossington, in fun, began teasing him. McCallister returned home (Clearwater) and started writing a tribute show to honor Lynyrd Skynyrd. The result was the first-ever national tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd. Since 1988, Second Helping has worked with a few of the Skynyrd guitarists on parts of songs. Soon thereafter, Second Helping began selling out shows statewide in Florida. Second Helping was listed as one of JAM magazine’s top bands in Florida. Booking agent Richard Lustig signed the band around 1989, and they began touring the United States, Canada, and Mexico immediately. The band’s popularity soared after appearing on MTV. The concert was a benefit for Chris Oliva, former guitarist for Savatage. The band, by 1989, had reached national attention and has enjoyed its success ever since. In 2023, the current Lynyrd Skynyrd lead singer, Johnny Van Zant, said, “I want to wish Second Helping a happy 35 th Anniversary. Thanks for keeping that Skynyrd music alive. You’ve been doing it for a long time. Guys, we appreciate ya!” Second Helping is more than a tribute band; it showcases classic Skynyrd music. Expect an evening that will bring you back to a time of youth, fun, and hope.

Discovering History/ Myths and Monuments: Allegorical Figures in Influencing the Nation

itle: Discovering History - Jann Adams Date/Time: Friday, March 13th, 2026 Location: Campus Martius Museum Link: https://mariettamuseums.org/events/discovering-history-15/ Description:  MYTHS AND MONUMENTS: ALLEGORICAL FIGURES INFLUENCING THE NATION We most often think of Uncle Sam as a symbol representing the United States, but long before him, women served the nation as allegorical figures or heroes. These seemingly embodiments of national personification served to shape and unify the culture, give directions about events and build patriotism. Most often allegorical figures such as Columbia, who appeared as a goddess, were endowed with virtues of liberty, wisdom and justice. Citizens would develop a trust in their messages as seen in cartoons, artwork, propaganda and in monuments designed to enhance ideals of freedom and democracy in Ohio and the greater United States. Jann K. Adams is native to Marietta and a local historian who has written articles for the Marietta Times and The Tallow Light, the quarterly journal of the Washington County Historical Society. She has two published books, Behind the Doors of Historic Marietta and German Marietta and Washington County. This event is sponsored by the Washington County Public Library and is FREE and open to the public and livestreamed/recorded on our YouTube Channel: @CampusMartiusMuseum
