Disney’s Mary Poppins JR.
March 24, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - March 26, 2023 @ 2:00 pm
WCPR’s Rising Stars present Disney’s Mary Poppins JR.
The Rising Stars winter production for 2022-2023 will be Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s Mary Poppins JR, based on one of the most popular Disney movies of all time and the Broadway musical that played for over 2,500 performances and received multiple Olivier and Tony Awards nominations. The jack-of-all trades, Bert, introduces us to England in 1910 and the troubled Banks family. Young Jane and Michael have sent many a nanny packing before Mary Poppins arrives on their doorstep. Using a combination of magic and common sense, she must teach the family members how to value each other again. 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.”
Four Performances will be March 24-26 at the College Grove Artsitorium in College Grove, Tennessee. Performances will be 7pm on Friday, 2pm and 7pm on Saturday, and 2pm on Sunday.
