Mary Poppins Jr.
February 26-March 1, 2026
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 many magical and memorable adventures, 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.”
A Musical based on the stories of P.L. Travers and the Walt Disney Film
Original Music and Lyrics by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman

AUDITION INFORMATION
Auditions are taking place at Lakeside Church (7654 Conservation Rd, Guelph) on Oct. 23rd, 24th and 25th. We welcome those aged 8-15 (as of September 1st, 2025).
What to prepare for the audition:
- A song of your choice, approximately 1 min in length. We suggest a song from the musical theatre repertoire that shows off your singing ability, but please pick anything you feel comfortable singing.
- A joke, monologue or a page from your favourite book in your best British accent. It does not have to be memorized – we are looking for your ability to emote or show expression. Accents are not expected to be perfect, but we want to see an eagerness to try!
What to bring to the audition:
- Headshot (does not need to be professional)
- Backtrack for your song is preferred (we will have the ability to play from an android or iPhone)
- Willingness to participate in a very short movement/dance audition.
- Your enthusiasm!
There will be an invitation-only callback on Wednesday November 5th, 2025 for lead and featured roles as well as a more in-depth dance portion. You may be called to one, both or none of these. If you are not called back, it does not mean you are not cast in the show, it just means we do not need to see you for callbacks.
