Win One of the Coolest Experiences Ever – A Walk-on Role in Mary Poppins

November 5, 2014

Highest Bid: $1,500

This is it, the experience that you or a really, really loved one will remember FOREVER! The winner of our Auction will get the star treatment at one performance of Mary Poppins.

That means a private costume fitting. That means a personal rehearsal to get ready for the big moment. That means a place in the dressing room with the other stars and a bio in the show program for that performance. That means entering that stage with 1,700 patrons in their seats. It also means after the show, a photo on the set with the Poppins cast and a Mary Poppins poster signed by the entire cast.

That’s what constitutes one of the coolest experiences ever.

SOME IMPORTANT RULES

  • Winner must be 7 years of age or older.
  • This is a walk-on role – not a speaking role.
  • Winner must be available for one hour between the hours of 11a.m.-6 p.m. the week prior to their performance to attend a costume fitting at the Paramount Theatre.
  • Winner must also be available three hours prior to show time on their performance day for their walk-on rehearsal.
  • No acting experience is necessary.
  • Includes 2 tickets to the walk-on performance. Additional tickets can be purchased.
  • And YES, you can give it to your child, your spouse, your parent or someone you’re really trying to kiss up to.
