Auditions for the play, “Mary Poppins,” will be held at the UTEP Dinner Theatre Feb. 18, room 207, Union West. Dancers, actors and singers are all welcome to audition.

These private auditions are also open to the general public.

Children, who are ages 6 and older, are also invited to audition for two of the main characters in the play, Jane and Michael Banks

“We are very excited about ‘Mary Poppins.’ The entire play is filled with energetic dancing and singing that will keep the audience thrilled,” said Beverly Kerbs-Ward, program coordinator of UTEP Dinner Theatre. “We hope to find the right actors for all of the characters, including Jane and Michael Banks, the two children protagonists. Mary Poppins, however, has been pre-casted.”

Those who want to audition must be prepared with a song to sing and sheet music for piano accompaniment. Readings of the script will also be required from the individual during the audition.

The play is scheduled to run for 23 performances during April and May. Additional performances will be scheduled during June, if requested.

Rehearsals for “Mary Poppins,” are scheduled to begin on Mar. 2, at 7 p.m. and will continue during week days at the same time until opening night.
