Description: 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 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 she has a profound effect upon. Even grown-ups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny who advises that “Anything can happen if you let it.”

Tickets are $12 for children, students and seniors; $15 for adults.

Margot Greenlee’s Medicine by the Book

Wednesday, November 4, 2015 at 7:00pm

Location: Joe’s Movement Emporium

With beauty and humor, Margot Greenlee’s Medicine by the Book explores the relationship between movement, imagination and the body’s inherent capacity to heal. Inspired by her experiences as a resident choreographer in healthcare settings across the greater DC region, the work combines the excitement of performance with the satisfaction of meaningful discussion and creative involvement. Weaving together compelling scenes from literature and graphic novels with the daily frustrations and long-range aspirations of healthcare professionals, Medicine by the Book reveals the power of our creative minds to heal our ailing bodies. Designed as a focal point for discourse and creativity, Medicine combines theater, storytelling and movement followed by a facilitated audience-and-cast ‘lab’ session to immediately propel the work further. This preview performance will feature faculty members from University of Maryland’s School of Public Health.

Free, or pay what you want.
