OGS Theater Presents Mary Poppins

After months of rehearsals and countless hours put in by the Oak Grove Theater Team, student performers, crew members, and parent volunteers, the curtain was finally raised on four rousing performances of Mary Poppins. The ensemble cast treated nearly 1,000 enthusiastic audience members to this year’s high-flying production full of songs, dance numbers, and magic – reminding them that childlike wonderment and hope can prevail, even beyond Cherry Tree Lane.

We are grateful to The Thacher School for opening their wonderful Mulligan Theater to Oak Grove for the second year in a row. Bravo to all involved for this Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious musical adventure!
