Josh Franklin to Appear as George Banks in FAC’s Production of Mary Poppins
We are excited to announce that Josh Franklin, CC’s Principal Voice Instructor and Musical Theatre Director, is playing the role of George Banks in the FAC’s upcoming production of Mary Poppins.
Franklin reflects on his experience: “When I agreed to take on the role of George Banks, I had little idea of the emotional depth it would demand. What I discovered was something rare in musical theatre—a beautifully crafted character with a rich and transformative journey. My excitement only grew as I met the extraordinarily talented cast and creative team, including the young, gifted actors portraying my children. In many ways, this marks my return to the stage after several years away while my husband (who also stars as Bert!) and I developed Icons. Much like George Banks reconnecting with his inner child, as a former Broadway performer I feel as though I’m rediscovering a beloved part of my life. We all know and cherish the film, but bringing these characters to life on stage offers an entirely new and deeply moving experience—one I’m thrilled to share with audiences.”
Mary Poppins is showing at the FAC from November 20-December 28. Visit the website for tickets.

Professor Lidia Chang on Jane Austen & Co’s “Music & the Regency” Series
In October, Assistant Professor of Music Lidia Chang appeared on the live web series Jane Austen and Co. as part of their “Music and the Regency Series.” In the episode entitled “Frivolity, Foppery, and the English Gentleman at Music,” Chang explored how Jane Austen’s novels offer a valuable window into the restrictive musical culture of Regency England, revealing nuances about how different kinds of people were allowed to engage with music. Watch the recording of Chang’s talk.
