Showcase: MARY POPPINS
Advertisement
ABOUT THE SHOW
When Mary Poppins arrives at the Banks household, she’s hired to care for the children—but quickly becomes something far harder to define. As she guides Jane and Michael through a series of unexpected adventures, the adults around them are forced to reckon with how disconnected the family has become. Mr. Banks, focused on order and responsibility, begins to see the limits of control, while Mrs. Banks searches for her place within the chaos of home and expectation.
This stage adaptation expands the familiar story with additional musical and narrative material, deepening the world of the Banks family while preserving its most iconic moments. As imagination and structure collide, the story asks what it takes to truly see one another again—and what changes when you do.
ABOUT SHOWCASE
MTAA’s signature Showcase program presents Broadway musicals in a concert-style format with live orchestra and chorus. After just 8–12 hours of rehearsal across two days, participants present a complete musical with scripts in hand and live orchestral accompaniment.
Rather than elaborate sets or staging, Showcases place the music at the center. Students, emerging artists, and experienced performers share the stage in a collaborative performance built around the score, ensemble, and storytelling.
Every Showcase offers audiences the opportunity to experience a full musical from a fresh perspective—driven by live music and a community of performers.
