You’ll probably be humming when you make your way to Brentwood College’s production of Disney & Cameron Mackintosh’s Mary Poppins.

It’s taking the stage at the school’s Killy Theatre at the T. Gil Bunch Centre for the Performing Arts from March 1-4.

The trio of Edna Widenmaier (director/producer), Phil Newns (musical director), and Lorraine Blake (choreographer) have set a huge cast in motion for this tuneful Broadway musical about an extraordinary nanny, played by Holly Collis Handford.

Evening shows take place at 7:30 p.m. with a family matinee scheduled for Saturday, March 4 starting at 2 p.m.

General admission is $20 for weeknights, rising to $25 on premium nights (Friday and Saturday). Seats for the matinee are a family-friendly $10 each.
