CCM Preparatory and Community Engagement Presents Disney s Mary Poppins, Jr.
Based on the story we all know and love, Disneys
Mary Poppins, Jr.
was designed with young performers in mind. The University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music's Preparatory and Community Engagement department is one of a select group of schools invited to perform this new adaptation
May 5 - 7
in the Cohen Family Studio Theater.
Typically an hour long, junior musicals are fun for the whole family and are amazing educational platforms for the students who perform them. Like other junior musicals,
Mary Poppins, Jr.
is beautifully developed with great additional cross-curriculum materials for teachers and directors, Director Dee
Ann Bryll
said.
The students who will perform in this perfect fusion of education and entertainment are participants of CCM Preparatorys Junior Musical Theatre Intensive program.
The Junior Musical Theatre Intensive program provides a challenging and disciplined educational experience for students ages 9-14 who have a special interest in musical theatre, Bryll said.
Five of the programs students,
Morgan Robbins, Malika Dinian, Esther Medlin, Colby James
and
Trinity Gibson,
were invited to be part of iTheatrics New Works video series. Based in New York, iTheatrics is dedicated to connecting young people to quality theater programs. It sponsored a workshop of
Mary Poppins, Jr.
in the summer where critic Peter Filichia wrote the production was practically perfect in every way.
Joining the Preparatory production team is Guest Choreographer
David Baum
, who appeared in the ensemble of Broadways production of
Mary Poppins
. Baum choreographed Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious for CCMs production of
Mary Poppins, Jr.
The Junior Musical Theatre Intensive Guest Artist Fund, through the generosity of Freddie and Myrna Gershon, made Baums participation possible.
We are thrilled to present this all-new version of the classic family favorite,
Mary Poppins, Jr.
in the Cohen Family Studio Theater May 5-7.
