Nate Pilarski and Allison Lozar (Stage Crew) During the final curtain speech of MARY POPPINS, Justin (Bert) would invite the audience to “share the magic of MARY POPPINS” with their friends and family. We are pleased to recognize two special team members responsible for that good part of that magic. Nate Pilarski and Allison Lozar are the dynamic duo who flew Mary Poppins twice per show and executed the behind-the-scenes aspects of the effect where Mary pulls unusual items out of her carpetbag. Perhaps it’s a bit over dramatic to say they had Courtney’s (Mary’s) life in their hands, but Nate and Allison always approached the flying of Mary Poppins with caution and care. Every performance day prior to the show, they would do a practice run with Courtney. They were great about communicating any concerns with her. The result was a smooth ride and a VERY memorable moment. That great communication carried over to the magic carpetbag effect as well. This a challenging effect to do in our space, but Nate and Allison took the time to figure out how to make it work the best for our situation and would often chat with Courtney about how it went from day to day and how to make it easier for her. Nate, in particular, did an awesome job on his end. While I always value the two of them and appreciate their hard work as part of our theatre crew, they really busted their butts (if you’ll pardon the phrase) during MARY POPPINS. Thank you for the magic, Nate, and Allison.

Zoe and Katie (Bus Staff) Early in the run of Mary Poppins, a manager near the buffet on a Sunday morning caught this exchange with some guests. A woman approached the buffet pushing a person in wheelchair. She asked if anyone could help the woman in the wheelchair get her food. The comment was directed at the manager but before they could react, Zoe, who was food running on the buffet, came over and immediately took the plate and asked the woman if she wanted the first item on the buffet and how much of it. She was smiling and pleasant and very patient going through the buffet. Katie, without being asked, was immediately there and offered to fill the plate for the woman pushing the wheelchair so that she didn’t have to try and do both. When the plates were full, they walked the two women back to their table. Both girls exemplified excellent customer service and really gave these guests an exceptional customer service experience.
