A 90 minute production with no intermission, Mary Poppins, Jr. will be performing on the same set as the full length Theatre Memphis blockbuster production of Mary Poppins that runs June 9 – July 2, 2023. Becky Caspersen, Theatre Memphis Director of Stage Management, Outreach and Volunteer Engagement, reveals, “The opportunity to have a youth production with the professional environment from a sister show is such a great realization of the goals we have set to give the young participants an experience of a lifetime. With adult supervision, the youth in the cast and ensemble, as well as the crew, are producing this production of Mary Poppins, Jr. from top to bottom. It is a unique chance to expose them to all the workings of a show … on, off and back stage.”
