A Spoonful of Sugar and More


I was excited last year when Assumption rebooted their theatrical program after a few years' hiatus. A group of us took in the dinner and a show offering for Sister Act and enjoyed it. So tonight we did the same while we waited for Mary Poppins to drop in at 17 Cherry Tree Lane! 

I've seen the movie (old and new) and the Broadway touring production of it. Of course, I still can't spell supercalifragilisticexpialidocious without looking it up! But that makes me no less of a fan!

Dinner was delicious. Love our adopted Rudolph family. (Well actually they sort of adopted us!)


The sets were phenomenal. Can't show you everything because you'll like the surprises!


Let's just say I wouldn't mind living at the Banks household! LOL.

And now the talent... these kids are Amazing with a capital A. The singing, dancing, acting, and comedic timing were incredible. I'm used to seeing and hearing "Mary Poppins" (aka Miss Wisconsin Rapids Teen 2026) sing beautifully. But hearing "Bert" (aka one of our Royal linemen) belt out songs and have such enthusiasm for dancing was a treat!

I better not start singling people out because it took the entire stage ensemble, synchronized stage crew, and more to make this happen. They all deserve the standing ovation our full gymnasium gave them! We could tell they were having fun so WE were having fun.


And there are still more performances. If you get a chance to go, DO IT!! We all deserve a jolly holiday with Mary! ☂
