The curtain is rising on a new chapter for young performers in Southeast Iowa. Fairfield Youth Performing Arts (FYPA), a newly established nonprofit children’s theatre organization, is preparing to make its debut with a production of Mary Poppins Jr., promising an uplifting showcase of talent, creativity, and collaboration.
FYPA’s mission is to empower youth by providing a welcoming and inclusive space where children can explore and develop their artistic abilities. Through theatre, the organization aims to nurture confidence, imagination, and teamwork while enriching the broader Fairfield arts community.
“We want to create an environment where every child feels valued and inspired,” said FYPA organizers. “Our hope is to make Fairfield a destination for children’s theatre and a hub for cultivating the next generation of theatrical talent.”
FYPA’s inaugural production of Mary Poppins Jr. will be staged at the Fairfield Arts & Convention Center with evening performances on July 25 and 26 at 7 p.m. and a matinee on July 27 at 3 p.m. Featuring young actors from Fairfield and surrounding Southeast Iowa communities, the beloved musical promises to delight audiences of all ages with its timeless story and memorable songs.
Tickets for Mary Poppins Jr. are now on sale through the Fairfield Arts & Convention Center Box Office and online at fairfieldacc.com. Community members are encouraged to come out and support the region’s rising stars as they bring this magical production to life.
