MARY POPPINS JR CAST

All those cast in MARY POPPINS JR are required to become a KVTA member at some level (minimum $25) by a certain date during the rehearsal process. One parent being a member of KVTA does cover the membership requirement for all family members 17 and under. Memberships paid during the 2021-2022 season will also fulfill this requirement.

​

TO THE PARENTS:

January and February rehearsals will be 3 to 4 times per week (there will be a mandatory cast/parent meeting at 6:30 pm on December 20, 2021, but then the next rehearsal will start after the holidays on January 3, 2022). March rehearsals might be every night, depending on how well the cast is doing at that time. We will add some weekend rehearsals especially for dance, if necessary. That has not been finalized yet, but we want you to be aware of this before you grant your child permission to complete the audition process.

WE ARE ADDING FLYING TO OUR PRODUCTION. WE WILL HAVE A REHEARSAL ON FRIDAY, MARCH 25 AND SATURDAY, MARCH 26 FOR MARY POPPINS AND MISS ANDREWS WHICH ARE MANDATORY FOR THESE CHARACTERS. THERE WILL ALSO BE DANCE REHEARSAL ON SATURDAY, MARCH 26 WHILE FLIGHT REHEARSAL IS OCCURRING FOR ALL OTHER CHARACTERS. Rehearsal dates are subject to change. We want to have the entire cast at ALL of our final tech rehearsals, so please be open and honest when completing your auditioner’s conflict calendar. These dates are Friday, April 1 and April 4-April 7. Please be sure to fill out all of the conflicts for your child from the audition date through the final performance date. If you have any questions about the information provided here, please ask ahead of time by emailing the Director, Debbie Emling, at kvtamarypoppins@gmail.com. At this time, masks are required for all rehearsals, and clear face shields are required to be worn by all actors for the performances.
