SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - "Mary Poppins" may be the most ambitious production Sioux Empire Community Theater has taken on and the show opens tonight at the Orpheum Theater in downtown Sioux Falls.
Executive Director Patrick Pope credits the cast with its dedication and discipline.
Pope says Martha Stai, who plays Mary Poppins, and Tim Huggenberger, who plays Bert, have to be in excellent shape to fly in a hareness around the stage. He says it takes a lot of core strength to fly and sing without making it look uncomfortable.
"Mary Poppins" runs weekends through May 22, tickets are available online or the Orpheum Theater box office.
