Templeton Middle School seventh and eighth graders will present “Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s Mary Poppins JR.” March 13 and 14 at the Hamilton Fine Arts Center. The Friday show begins at 7 p.m. and Saturday performance begins at 2 p.m.
The jack-of-all trades, Bert, 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 members 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 upon whom she has a profound effect. Even grown-ups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny who advises that “Anything can happen if you let it.”
Tickets are $10 for adults, $8 for students and seniors. Tickets may be purchased at www.hamiltonfineartscenter.com or at the box office 30 minutes before each performance.
The Hamilton Fine Arts Center is located at W220 N6151 Town Line Rd., Sussex.
