This is your chance to participate in our upcoming production of “Mary Poppins”! During this memorable experience, participants will gain confidence, work cooperatively with others, and be responsible for meeting deadlines and expectations. Adults can join us on stage as well, or participate in the production in a variety of ways. This will be both fun and challenging while participants learn about the essentials of acting, music, dance, and stagecraft as well as theater history. We look forward to nurturing your imagination and creativity in a way the entire family will never forget!
Spring 2020 Venue: Our production of Mary Poppins will be held at Bayside Perfoming Arts Center April 23 - May 3, 2020.
"Open different doors. You may find a YOU there that you never knew was yours."
Auditions for Mary Poppins will be held in mid-January 2020! Prior to the auditions, we invite you to join us at our free Audition Workshop in early January to make sure you have the song and monologue choice that’s just right for you! Learn more about each character…so you know which role you want to audition for. Learn the audition dance so you can show us your amazing moves! Come and work hands-on with the creative team on preparing for Mary Poppins auditions.
Audition Format: Your performer will perform a song from a list provided by the staff. Performers should review the songs prior to the Audition Workshop. Please see About eTc Auditions and Audition Songs for more information. Note: If you have already prepared your own audition song, please confirm your selection with the artistic staff at the Audition Workshop.

Creating theater is about people working together. While we are fortunate enough to have a professional production staff, parent volunteers are an integral part of putting on an eTc Mainstage production. Both actors and their families have roles in the production. A typical eTc Mainstage production includes a total of over 2000 hours of volunteer time. This is divided among the families of all cast members. It is important to review and understand eTc's Family Involvement & Mainstage Policies which cover the following topics:
If you are new to eTc or theater in general, many of your questions may be answered on the Family Involvement & Mainstage Policies page.
Rehearsals for all cast are held on Saturday and Sunday afternoons in San Mateo.
Tech Week rehearsals are 5:30-9:30 pm at Bayside Perfoming Arts Center in San Mateo.
eTc must be informed of all conflicts for the entire season by the participant's audition date. Participants are allowed three conflicts, but those conflicts may not fall on Mandatory rehearsal days, during Tech Week, or during any performance. Please review the eTc Attendance and Conflicts Policy.
