Quick costume changes are an essential part of musical theater, adding excitement and magic to live performances. In Mary Poppins, this is especially true, as characters often transform seamlessly to keep up with the fast-paced, whimsical nature of the story. Whether it's Mary pulling an entire wardrobe from her carpet bag or Bert shifting from chimney sweep to street artist, these rapid changes create an illusion of magic, enhancing the audience's sense of wonder. Behind the scenes, precise coordination between cast and crew ensures these transitions happen flawlessly, contributing to the overall spectacle of the production.

More Mary Poppins rehearsal shenanigans!

14 years ago TODAY Stage Kids officially launched in San Jose, California! Crazy to see how far this organization has come and fun to think about the thousands of kids that we have been able to join in their journey to adulthood.
..Apparently, phone cameras have come a long way as well 😅

Let me tell you about this incredible duo!

"David and Melinda Gilliver have been tirelessly supporting Stage Kids since we started in Wenatchee 10 years ago! Whether it's serving on our board, managing our massive props inventory, plowing snow daily, or annually re-graveling our driveway, the Gillivers are incredibly generous in contributing their time, talents, and treasures to Stage Kids. A nonprofit will rise or fall with the caliber of its volunteers, and the Gillivers have been HUGE contributors in helping Stage Kids thrive!"

- Stage Kids Team

Can you join us in thanking these two for their servant leadership at Stage Kids?

We’re into our second week of rehearsals! Tickets go on sale
October 1 for
MARY POPPINS!

Big shout out to our newest top fans! 💎
