Mary Poppins Jr. took place on May 3-5, 2019 at St. Francis Xavier School featuring performers of the Xavier Players ages 7-14.
The focus of this production process was to introduce the children to the challenge of portraying alternate cultures, time periods, and characters from various backgrounds. The performers also needed to experiment with onstage magic tricks, as well as numerous quick changes throughout the performance. A show of this scale encouraged the performers to assume independence of their tire performance, from where they should be to what they should be wearing at all times.
