Local skaters to present “Mary Poppins, Across the Frozen Pond” next weekend at Bode Ice Arena.

According to a news release, “Spoonful of Sugar”, “”Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious,” “Let’s Go Fly a Kite” and other classic songs will be brought to the ice in the St. Joseph Figure Skating Club’s annual spring show.

The St. Joseph Figure Skating Club will present “Mary Poppins, Across the Frozen Pond” on May 19, 20 and 21. Show times are 7 p.m. on May 19 and 20, and 2 p.m. on the 21st.

More than 70 skaters from the Figure Skating Club and Bode’s Learn to Skate USA Program will perform in a production based on the musical. The show features the magical nanny character as well as George Banks and his children.

Show Director Debbie Cole Gerber said “Mary Poppins, Across the Frozen Pond” includes some elements that weren’t in the well-known film, such as statues that come to life.

“There are a lot of underlying lessons to learn about how you deal with people and friends while growing up,” she said. “And the skating is better and better.”

Tickets are $10 for adults, with children 12 and under admitted for free, if accompanied by an adult with a ticket. The performances are at the Bode Ice Arena, 2500 Southwest Parkway. For tickets, call Bode Ice Arena at 271-5506 or send an email to [email protected].
