Dear Mary Poppins Cast & Families: Hope you all had a great holiday weekend and are looking forward to another great holiday weekend ahead! For those who have not yet heard, tickets are selling so well that we have been able to add a show on Saturday, 1/6 at 2:00pm.
Here is an updated performance schedule reflecting that performance. As always, this schedule only shows who is playing the leads for those shows. Everyone is in every show as their ensemble part. Seussical_2018-_Performance_Schedule_for_Cast.pdf
You may notice a few changes from the performance schedule we sent out earlier. Everyone who is affected by those changes was contacted directly, so if you were not contacted, you are not affected by those changes. There is a possibility that we may still add a show on Saturday, 1/13 at 6:30pm. We will let you know as soon as we can if we do.
Thank you all for sticking with us on Saturday, being flexible and getting your children (or selves) to and from Peninsula High!
