Who knew that Mary Poppins, that brightly colored stage spectacle of a musical comedy confection, would be the theatrical offering that most eloquently addresses the questionable shenanigans of unscrupulous bankers, financiers and other assorted nefarious London financial district/Wall Street types and which champions the importance of family and the common folk?

MARY POPPINS plays Tuesday and Wednesday evenings at 7PM, Thursday and Friday evenings at 7PM, Saturday evenings at 8PM, Sunday evenings at 6:30PM, and Saturday matinees at 2PM and Sunday matinees at 1PM with an additional performance on Thursday, February 16 at 2PM.

We've hit the ground running and couldn't be off to a more amazing start. Today was the first day of our Diepsloot Camp- our first camp in JoBurg and our first camp we've ever run that is co-taught by BSA US Artists (Sean, Frankie, Lilli and myself) and BSA SA Artists (South African Musical Directors Bryan Schimmel and Rowan Baker, and our dear friends Steven and Rochelle Hicks- without whom, this endeavour would not be made possible.) In fact, this particular trip is full of firsts: the first time we've ever been picked up at the airport by friends, the first time we've ever had our t-shirts, supplies and camp logistics supplied and provided on the ground in SA (thanks to generous contributions made by Montecasino and the support of Bryan Hill at the Teatro and Ryan Nicholas at Monte,) the first time there's been such a small group of BSA artists traveling (4) and the first time we've ever been able to come back to SA twice in one year.

What's the Bard say on bullying? Plenty, in fact. And, more than 400 years later, Shakespeare Festival St. Louis is trying to spread the word. In the past 10 years the organization has inspired more than 185,000 students with the Bard's advice through productions artfully adapted for young audiences. These 50-minute text-based adaptations are commissioned from local playwrights and performed by five professional actor/teaching artists at schools and community venues throughout the St. Louis metro area. This season's performances run from Feb. 22 - May 20.
