ACT II brings Mary Poppins Jr. to the Ent Center for the Arts
Apr 01, 2025
(COLORADO SPRINGS) — The Academy of Community Theatre (ACT II) is bringing Mary Poppins Jr. to center stage at the Ent Center for the Arts.
"Mary Poppins Jr. is just a little bit shorter, so instead of the two-and-half hour or two hour show it fits into about an hour-and-a-half or ninety minut
es, and the Jr. part takes out everything that could be seen as questionable and makes it just a little bit more family friendly," said Nathan Woolley who plays Bert in the play.
Act II is an award-winning, non-profit theater company that brings literature to life through the magic of live performances.
"We have schools come in for their field trips, and this is something that not a lot of performances do," said Woolley. "We're so focused on just helping kids and introducing the arts in a way that the family can enjoy and that young kids can enjoy."
ACT II provided a sneak peek of "A Spoonful of Sugar" on FOX21 Morning News on Tuesday, April 1. It was performed by Eliza Hebson (Mary Poppins), Kaitlyn Cicero (Jane Banks), and Luka Rogers (Michael Banks).
Tickets for the show are on sale now at the website above. The show runs from April 10th through April 12th. ...read more read less
