A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR…

What a journey this show has been! Mary Poppins has always been one of

my favorite Disney movies as a child, and when choosing a show for our

Summer 2016 production, Mary Poppins was at the top of the list! I knew

we had a big production on our hands, but once again my production team

was up for the challenge along with all of our wonderful cast members.

From late night rehearsals to all day Saturday dance rehearsals, to helping

build sets and costumes - everyone has worked so hard and continues to

make this magical show come to life each time we perform it.

When I read the script to the stage show I fell in love with it and I was so

excited to get the opportunity to bring the show to Roswell. I want to thank

my entire production team and cast and crew for all their hard work and

dedication to making this show the magical production it is today! From

tap dancing chimney sweeps, a live orchestra, a magical flying nanny, and

much more, this production will leave you feeling

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! This has been our biggest production to

date and I could not be more proud of everyone involved! Lastly a big thank

you to all of you for your continue support of our shows and support of the

arts! I hope you enjoy Way Way Off-Broadway’s production of Disney’s

Mary Poppins!

Summer Souza

an awesome group of people to work with!

PRODUCTION TEAM BIOS

Summer Souza (Director, Choreographer, Lighting Design) Mary Poppins marks

the fourth production she has directed for WWOB, including I Love You, You’re

Perfect…, Les Miserables, and Seussical. In addition to directing, Summer also

enjoys performing on stage with many acting credits under her belt. Summer and

her husband, Tony, founded Way Way Off-Broadway in 2014, and she currently

serves as the Board President and Artistic Director. Outside of theatre, Summer

has a regular role on the web-series Tailed and on the radio play Roswell B.C.

Summer would like to thank this amazing cast and crew, production team, and

her husband and kids for all the love and support!

Cydni Vandiver (Music Director) Cydni Vandiver would first like to thank the cast

and the rest of the production team for making this an amazing experience. She

was nervous taking on such a significant role within the production team, and the

cast made this new role incredibly fun. Cydni has been involved in other Way Way

Off-Broadway productions, most recently being seen in the role of Gertrude in

Seussical. She would like to thank her Mimi and Papa for putting up with the crazy

hours of practice and making sure she could eat and run (she’d starve without

you Mimi). She would especially like to thank Summer and Devon for the belief

that she could be successful in this role. Without Devon’s support, constant

reassurance, and help (during the day, night, and during voice lessons), she would

never have discovered her love for creating music behind the scenes.

Tony Souza (Technical Director, Set Design) Tony Souza is the Managing Director

and Board Secretary/Treasurer of WWOB, and has designed sets for all of

WWOB’s productions including Joseph and Seussical. In addition to his work

behind-the-scenes, Tony also performs and directs for WWOB. Tony has enjoyed

the technical challenges of bringing Mary Poppins to the stage, and wishes to

thank Greg Holman, John Bitner and the handful of people who helped design

and create the technical elements of this show. He also wishes to thank his

beautiful wife, Summer, for her love and support!

Jan Smith (Costume Design) This is Jan’s fourth show sewing the costumes for

WWOB. Jan credits her mother with teaching her how to sew. The wardrobe for

Mary Poppins is the largest and most complicated so far. Jan and her husband

both retired from Pacific Gas and Electric Company in California and moved to

Roswell shortly after. Besides creating costumes, Jan holds an office at the state

level in New Mexico Garden Clubs, Inc. and in Home Garden Club of Roswell. Jan

is also the Corresponding Secretary for the US Branch of Clan Macpherson.
