Theatre By Kids, For Kids!
This is your Arts Management Intern, Hayley and I just wanted to let you know what’s up at Encore, specifically with Mary Poppins. Here are 3 things that happened at rehearsal last night:
1. Mary, Bert, and Mrs. Andrews stepped into their costumes for the first time on stage.
2. The actors flew over the stage to rehearse the challenging stunts.
3. We found out that the chimney really does work!
With opening night just a week away, the cast and crew are working hard to make the show perfect for the audience!
Musical based on the stories of P.L. Travers and the Walt Disney Film

Mary Poppins is a practically perfect, spoonful of sugar nanny that unexpectedly arrives in the Banks household one blustery day. Using lessons disguised as games, she helps to teach the Banks children how to be their best selves. But, is Mary Poppins’ magic enough to save this family from drifting apart? Enjoy your favorite Disney melodies and watch Mary Poppins soar across the TJ stage in this Broadway adaptation that won seven TONY awards, including Best Musical. We recommend this musical for ages 6 and older.
Location:
All performances are held at Thomas Jefferson Community Theatre (125 S. Old Glebe Rd. Arlington, VA 22204)
