Mary Poppins

Birdville HS Auditorium
One of the most popular Disney movies of all time as a live musical by Disney and Cameron Mackintosh, and music composed by Richard M. Sherman, Robert B. Sherman and Julian Fellowes! Bert, the jack-of-all trades, introduces us to England in 1910 and the troubled Banks family. Young Jane and Michael have sent many a nanny packing before Mary Poppins arrives on their doorstep. Using a combination of magic and common sense, she must teach the family members how to value each other again.

A musical based on the novel “The Year the Yankees Lost the Pennant” by Douglass Wallop. Joe Boyd sells his soul to the devil, Mr. Applegate, for “one good Long ball hitter” for his team, the Washington Senators. Mr. Applegate grants his wish, turning him into a 22-year-old sports superstar who must go back to his wife before 9 p.m. on the final game day if he doesn’t want Mr. Applegate to get his soul.

Godspell
January 21 & 23 @ 7 p.m.
January 22 @ 2 p.m.
Richland HS Auditorium
A musical by Stephen Schwartz based on the Gospel according to St. Matthew. A small group of people help Jesus tell different parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques and hefty doses of comic timing. An eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, is employed as the story of Jesus’ life dances across the stage. Dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus’ messages of kindness, tolerance and love come vibrantly to life.

Dallas Baptist University recognizes BISD with School Partnership Award
Each year the faculty of the College of Education at Dallas Baptist University presents a School Partnership Award, recognizing a local school system which partners with our university in a unique and comprehensive manner. School partnerships are critical for the success of our students, and we certainly hope DBU makes a contribution to the schools. For the 2016–2017 school year, the faculty has selected Birdville ISD for the School Partnership Award!
Birdville ISD was selected for many reasons, not the least being the long-term relationship we have had for over two decades. It is the site of the longest and continuously operated graduate cohort, and according to our records 10 of your 33 principals received their masters degrees from DBU. In addition, numerous assistant principals, directors, and coordinators have graduate degrees from DBU, including nine doctoral students. At least eight BISD administrators currently serve as adjunct professors at DBU, and two full-time DBU faculty members are former BISD administrators. Most importantly, many of the teachers we produce are hired in Birdville schools. The awards ceremony was held on Thursday, Nov. 17 on the DBU campus.
