Pre-show events include Supercalifragilistic parties that feature story time with Mary, refreshments, VIP tableside autograph photo sessions with characters and receptions with delicious food.
Shows will be held June 2 and June 3 at 7 p.m. and June 4 at 2:30 and 7 p.m. At Westminster Christian Academy.
