"One of the most popular Disney movies of all time is capturing hearts in a whole new way: as a practically perfect musical! Based on the books by P.L. Travers and the classic Walt Disney film, Disney and Cameron Mackintosh's Mary Poppins delighted Broadway audiences for over 2,500 performances and received nominations for nine Olivier and seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Mary Poppins takes the children on many magical and memorable adventures, but Jane and Michael aren't the only ones upon whom she has a profound effect. Even grown-ups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny who advises that "Anything can happen if you let it."Mary Poppins is an enchanting mixture of irresistible story, unforgettable songs, breathtaking dance numbers and astonishing stagecraft." -Music Theatre International

About the Main Stage Series...
The Main Stage Series is our flagship program where folks of all ages and abilities get to participate in fully produced musical theatre productions in professional venues. Our MainStage casts typically consist of young children, middle and high schoolers, parents, adults with careers unrelated to theatre, and up-and-coming and professional artists. These diverse sets of individuals, from all walks of life and experiences, come together as one community to put on fantastic theatre and build incredible bonds and friendships.
Our Creative Team members bring with them substantial experiences in educational and professional theatre that have made them masters of their respective creative disciplines. These Teacher-Artists are adept at nurturing performers of all skill levels and ages in order to build them up for success in their performance abilities and time on stage. Our goal is to create an environment where each individual feels safe to learn, grow, risk, and have fun while engaging with this art form that teaches empathy, compassion, discipline, confidence, and interpersonal skills.

The Performing Guest Artist Initiative
|
For select productions, Performing Guest Artists will be precast in specified roles. These Performing Guest Artists are professionals in the industry who have an eye towards educational and community-based theatre. These individuals are invited into a production for their ability to be a role model for the performers in our community, knowledge of the industry, training in the craft, and capability to enhance the experience for everyone involved. For the roles that the Performing Guest Artists have been cast in, Alternates for those roles will be cast from the auditionees. The Alternates will be expected to fully prepare their role and, if deemed sufficiently prepared, will receive field trip performances.
For Mary Poppins, Abby Carlson will play the role of Mary! Don't miss the opportunity to work with and learn from our incredible artist! |
