The Carbon County School District No. 2 (CCSD2) Drama Club will be returning to the stage in 2021. Despite having to cancel their performances last year, the show must go on.
This year, the CCSD2 Drama Club will be performing a long time favorite of young and old alike with "Mary Poppins". Thought most widely known due to the 1964 Disney Film of the same name, it began as a book series written by P.L. Travers. A combination of both live action and animation, the film saw Julie Andrews in her feature film debut. Andrews, playing the titular Poppins, arrives in London, England to serve as a nanny for George Banks' two children, Jane and Michael.
While there won't be a combination of live action and animation for the stage performance of this well known family friendly production, the community is invited to suspend their disbelief as the drama club makes the production their own. There will be two chances for members of the community to attend the production with one show at 6 p.m. on April 28 and a second show at 4 p.m. on May 2.
While there is no cover charge, donations are greatly appreciated and gladly accepted.
Both performances will be held at the Platte Valley Community Center theater.
