Join us at the National Cultural Center on 29th March 2025
We would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to every student who auditioned. Your talent and enthusiasm are what make our productions shine.
We’re looking forward to a spectacular show this year! Stay tuned for updates, and let’s get ready for a fun adventure with Moana Jr.!
Moana is a celebration of the rich stories of Oceania and is based on the beliefs and cultures of real people. In creating the original film, the producers at Disney Animation formed an Oceanic Trust. This group of anthropologists, cultural practitioners, historians, linguists, and choreographers from islands including Samoa, Tahiti, Mo’orea, and Fiji was integral in the creation of the film, providing feedback and notes on character design, song lyrics, and the depiction of culture onscreen. This respect and careful attention to detail was carried forward in the creation of Moana JR. for the stage. Each production of the show is supplied with a Director’s Guide, a Pronunciation Guide, and Choreography Video demonstrations, providing information, research, and best practices for respectfully celebrating Oceanic culture.
Our talented students have been hard at work bringing this story to life with dynamic performances, stunning choreography, and breathtaking set designs.
We welcome volunteers to help make this production a success. If you’d like to contribute whether through set design, costumes, or sponsorship, please contact : sobers@giagy.org
