Captain Nemo
Event Navigation
Join the Merced Theatre on April 27, 2023 at 6:00 PM for 20,000 laughs under the sea!
Take a deep dive into environmental stewardship and earth science with Captain Nemo himself. The cantankerous and ever-curious Captain Nemo lives to excite kids about our watery-blue planet and highlight for us landlubbers the vital inter-dependence of all living things. This reclusive maritime hero entertains, inspires, and challenges children 4 to 11, while quenching their thirst for knowledge of the Wonders of the Deep. During this laugh-riot program, the Cycle of Life above and below the waves is showcased via encounters with the elusive Angler Fish, a giant squid, a jar of bioluminescent plankton and even whale poop!
This immersive theatrical experience features beautiful sound effects, hilarious slapstick hijinks, magic, bubble-play, and full-audience participation. Created and performed by David Engel who tours to performing arts centers, festivals, schools, and museums nationwide and internationally.
Tickets are $25 (Student/Child prices available upon request) and are on sale NOW at www.mercedtheatre.org, (209) 381-0500, or at the Merced Theatre Box Office, located at 301 W Main Street. Box Office hours are Tuesday – Friday from 1 PM – 5 PM.
