One of the most popular Disney movies of all time is capturing hearts in a whole new way: as a practically perfect musical! Based on the books by P.L. Travers and the classic Walt Disney film, Cameron Mackintosh and Disney's Mary Poppins delighted Broadway audiences for over 2,500 performances and received nominations for nine Olivier and seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical.

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."

The Masque and Mime Society has been Roy C. Ketcham High School's drama club since its inception in 1964. Currently in our 59th season, the club seeks to enrich the lives of RCK students through the experience of live theater each year. A member of the International Thespian Society and the NYS Theater Educators Association, Masque and Mime staff help RCK students experience all aspects of theatrical production as they design and implement two productions and a benefit showcase each year. We firmly believe in the power of theater to transform lives, and look forward to showcasing our students talent and effort to the community with each performance.
