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 memorable adventures - and plays games, all sorts - while demonstrating valuable lessons to the children (and the audience)!  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."

CPP's cast of nearly 60 youth will bring this beloved story to life in a way that audiences for over 20 years have come to value and appreciate.  It will, in a word, simply be:

SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS!
