FINN
By Chris Nee, Michael Kooman, and Christopher Dimond
Directed by Joshua Morgan 
Rehearsals: May 4 – June 3, 2027
Performances: June 4 – 20, 2027 

FIM Bower Theatre  

In a vibrant underwater world where everyone is expected to fit in, Finn can’t seem to find where he belongs. As he sets out on a journey of self-discovery, Finn encounters a colorful cast of characters who challenge him to embrace what makes him different. Bursting with music, humor, and heart, FINN is a joyful new musical about finding your voice, celebrating your identity, and discovering the courage to be exactly who you are. 

SEEKING:

Flint Rep is committed to diversity and encourages performers of all ethnicities, backgrounds, gender identities, body types, and abilities to audition for all available roles.

We are looking for bold, playful, inventive, and surprising performers with the fearless, fully committed spirit of artists like Cole Escola, Catherine O’Hara, Jennifer Lewis, Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, and John Early. These are inspirations, not templates; we’re not looking for impressions or imitations.

One quick note on tone as you approach the material: while FINN is a show for young audiences, we are not approaching the performances through a traditional “TYA” lens. Please resist any instinct to brighten, broaden, or “play to kids.”

The comedy, heart, and theatricality should come from specificity, commitment, and truth. We’re looking for bold, inventive choices and a heightened sense of play, but the characters themselves should be fully inside the reality of the world. Trust the writing, trust the audience, and don’t feel the need to signal the joke or make the performance more “kid-friendly.”

In short: play the circumstances, not the age of the audience. Bring your unique voice, make bold choices, and have fun!

FINN A sensitive young shark. Kindhearted and buoyant, he has never really fit into the pack. Actors of color and performers from historically underrepresented communities are particularly encouraged to submit for this role.

AGGIE Finn’s older sister. Stern, tough, and driven, her harshness comes from a place of love.

SEASIL A spunky young regal tang, bursting with energy and enthusiasm.

AUNTIE A traditional, uptight regal tang.

ROSCOE An energetic, macho shark.

LOLA A conceited shark.

BRUCE A hungry shark.

PUFF An anxious young puffer fish.

CRABBY A cantankerous young crab.

SQUIDGY A young squid.

PATRICK, FRANCES, MAMA A fish family.
