Mary Poppins to Open Next Week at Perrysburg High School
“Winds from the east... Mist comin' in... Like somethin' was brewin', about to begin...” The magical adventures of Mary Poppins are about to begin at Perrysburg High School. The stage of Perrysburg High School has been successfully transformed into Cherry Tree Lane in London in preparation for the upcoming performances.
Based on the books by P.L. Travers and the classic Walt Disney film, “Mary Poppins” is an enchanting mixture of irresistible story, unforgettable songs, breathtaking dance numbers, and astonishing stagecraft. The musical begins as Bert, a jack-of-all-trades, 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 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 she has a profound effect upon. Even grown-ups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny who advises that "Anything can happen if you let it."
Performances are scheduled for Thursday, April 23 through Sunday April 26 at 7:30 p.m., with matinee performances Saturday, April 25 and Sunday, April 26 at 2:30 p.m. All performances are in the PHS auditorium located at 13385 Roachton Road.
Tickets cost $13 and can be purchased at the box office 7:00 – 8:00 p.m. April 15, 16, and 20-22. In addition, the box office will open one hour before each show. Tickets may also be purchased online at www.tinyurl.com/PerrysburgTheatre starting Wednesday, April 15 at 7:30 p.m. All seats are reserved.
