Summer Theatre Preview: The Best San Diego Shows For Kids

Summer doesn't just have to be about outdoor adventures. Step away from the sand and ocean and into the theater!

Summer doesn’t just have to be beach visits and days by the pool. Treat the kids to something new and introduce them them to the magic of the stage. From stories of rags to riches, travelling the ocean on a giant peach or even a little dose of supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, you’ll soon have your little ones cheering from their seats as they turn into mini theatre buffs. Read on for the top picks of the best shows this summer.

Mary Poppins

Introduce your mini stage buffs to Mary Poppins, the practically perfect nanny who flies in to help the troubled Banks family. With help from jack-of-all-trades Bert, Mary Poppins takes young Jane and Michael Banks on a magical adventure of supercalifragilisticexpialidocious proportions! And in doing so, brings their once disconnected family back together again. Based on the Disney classic and the original book from P.L. Travers, this winner of seven Tony Awards will have kids of all ages (and even grown ups) cheering as Mary Poppins dispels her pearls of wisdom. A spoonful of sugar anyone?
