Mary Poppins Cast Analysis

Improved Essays
My experience in the Mary Poppins cast has been probably one of the best things to happen to me so far in my life. At my old school in 10th grade I was in theatre, then the following year I was bullied out, and I desperately missed theatre. It was my life, I enjoy it so much and it is such a part of me. So coming here and deciding to audition on just the second day of school was a really big deal for me. I was absolutely terrified to, but I stuck through and did it anyways, and I am so happy that I did. I got an amazing group of people as friends because of this one decision. I love them all dearly and I am so happy that I actually have friends for the first time in what is probably a year.

This has been an amazing experience for me and I really don’t want it to end. Though I do know there is a spring show which, no matter what it is, I will be in because of how connected I now am to this department. I’m not sure that anyone really knows how important this is to me, I may say it but they really may not know. Even though there are people I don’t get along with and it’s been quite the roller coaster of emotions, there’s nothing else in the world I would want to do more at this moment. So now, with only three shows left, I find myself realizing what a good move changing schools was, and that sticking out driving to Puyallup from February to June just for school from here lead to this, and that’s okay. I had to endure basically that hell of a school, because it was leading me to this, this school, these people, this is what I needed. Not people who hated me and pulled me down with them, not ones who sided with people who spread lies about me. I needed the people I have now, though we may not be very close yet, that’s okay. Finally after over a year, it’s actually gonna be

    Dear, Point Pleasant Beach High School I would like to thank Beach's program for touring me around the school during the open house and Dr. Grosshandler for taking the time out of his day to discuss my possible future with Point Pleasant Beach and its amazing academic program. Beach has gained a reputation of producing intelligent students and sending them off to college. Being considered for a program with such a productive system brings a monumental amount of joy to me and my family. Over the course of this school year, I have begun to realize the difference between my old school, Point Pleasant Boro, and my new school, Spring Lake Heights. Heights has a smaller population which benefits the students for multiple reasons.…

    Coming into Geneseo during the summer was something I was not looking forward to. I wanted to just jump into the school year and saw the summer as a waste of time. At the end of the summer I was wrong, and I at this point couldn’t be more thankful that I was able to be apart of it. Following with the INTD class into the school year I just saw it as another class that I just had to pass. What I didn't realize was how much I would learn about myself throughout the summer and fall semester.…

Being in college has really given me the opportunity to meet so many new people that have been able to positively impact in such a big way.

    At 38 degrees latitude north and 92 longitude west, lies the rural farming town of California, Missouri. This town is rich in cornfields, small businesses, and many churches of all denominations. From the quiet fields, to the busy town square this city is home to 4,341 people. What I believe makes California stand out from the other towns is that it has the “oldest continuously operating fair west of the Mississippi” (Kunze). But the thing that impacts me most about this town is the California High School, it’s staff, and the students.…

    I have been in two of Brookline High’s Shakespeare production, I did King Lear my junior year and Julius Caesar my senior year. Being apart of these plays have taught me many things about working with a group of people; commitment, diligence and most of all passion. When I did King Lear it was my first big theater activity that I had done. It was intense and required me to be completely focused on my role which was a street musician. Now, I thought since I had a small and lousy role it would be no problem and that I could put half of my energy in and focus on other things I thought were important.…

    In October 15, 2015 on a chilly Thursday night, students, parents, and teachers attended the Mary Poppins broadway musical. Upon entering the theater, students handed out colorfully designed programs. Attendees who came earlier nearly filled up all the seats, but luckily there were a few seats left. Either the staff at Xavier were ridiculously talented at promoting the musical or perhaps the attendees simply knew that they were in for a treat. Lights darkened, the announcer greets the audience, giving typical directions to turn off cell phones as to not disturb the cast members and audience, announced that there would be a fifteen minute intermission after the first act, and to enjoy the musical.…
