CROTON'S CHRISTINE TURTURRO TO PLAY MARY POPPINS LEAD--WHITE PLAINS STEPINAC HIGH---AWARD WINNING DRAMA CLUB


Sorry we missed this

The award-winning school's Drama Club will present the Tony Award-winning musical, by Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s. Performances are May 2, 3, 9, 10 and 11 at the high school.

“It is an honor to present a musical about one of the most iconic and enduring Disney characters of all time. Mary Poppins’ cultural reach is enormous; its impact is timeless and has already spanned five decades,” said Frank Portanova, Stepinac’s Drama Club director. “This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Disney movie, Mary Poppins. So it is particularly fitting to present this production in honor of the musical’s golden anniversary.”

Portanova is assisted in presenting the play by Keith Sunderland, Stepinac’s Drama Club producer.

The Disney story consists of a cast of nearly 100 students including the stage crew. Christine Turturro of Croton-on-Hudson will play the leading role as Mary Poppins, and John Guaragna of Yonkers will portray the leading male role, Bert.
