Mary Poppins
August 6-9
Suggested Audience: All Ages

Our StarBright show shines a spotlight on Starlight’s rising stars, ages 10-18, gracing the Bengt Sjostrom Stage with their remarkable talent. This year, they’ll whisk you away to Cherry Lane with Mary Poppins. Mary Poppins is the story of the Banks family. Things are not going well for the family. The children, Jane and Michael, are out of control and are in need of a new nanny. Jane and Michael have their own ideas about what sort of caretaker they should have, while their parents—and in particular Mr. Banks—are insistent on someone strict for the job. When a mysterious young woman named Mary Poppins appears at their doorstep, the family finds that she’s the answer to their prayers, but in the most peculiar way. Mary Poppins takes the children on many magical and memorable adventures, but Jane and Michael aren’t the only ones she has a profound effect on. Even grown-ups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny, who advises that “anything can happen if you let it.”
