Captain Nemo’s Adventure Academy!

“All the teachers surveyed said Captain Nemo was their favorite part of the festival.”

Producer, SUBMERGE Marine Science Festival, Hudson River Park, NYC

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. 

Commissioned by The Berkshire Museum, Pittsfield, MA for their exhibit “Voyage to the Deep!”

“A MUST-SEE event…”
