   A MESSAGE FROM OUR DIRECTOR

What a year it's been! I am so proud of these young actors and the way they

have rolled with the changes to get to this point.

What an extreme pleasure it has been to direct this cast with the support of

this selfless crew. I hope you enjoy the show!

At Primary Players, we take great pride in including as many actors as

possible in our productions. We have 36 young actors from age 8 to 18

in Mary Poppins. They have worked hard to not just learn the songs, 

dialogue and choreography but to embrace and become the beloved characters

we all know and love.

I need to say a special thanks to our primary production crew of Tracie Giebudowski as Rehearsal Stage Manager, Kristy Weekley Giles as Music Director and Hilary Barrett as Choreographer. Without their generous spirit and can-do attitude, I'm not sure how we could have made it this far. They also have a lot of people behind them helping as well.

The beautiful costumes you see in this production are lovingly sewn and pulled together by a talented band of visionaries. Thank you to anyone who has had a hand in creating them. The costumes are beautiful.

Many thanks to the creative energies of Neil Stiles for his flexibility and leadership getting us to this performance. Special thanks to Missy Ament for her beautiful props and her leadership of the props team. 

We are so blessed that Faith Promise worked with us to rehearse and perform this show in their space. We are so blessed that Nikki Andrews had the vision in 2005 to resurrect children's community theatre with the founding of Primary Players.

I hope you enjoy this production of Mary Poppins, Jr.

John Cherry, Director
