We knew ‘em when. Was it just a couple of years ago that Ashley Brown, Broadway’s “Mary Poppins,” was part of a CCM Musical Theater showcase, and, now legend, got her first call, from Disney, between New York presentations?

Well, yes. Word is that Brown will take a night off from her supercalifragilisticexbealidocious governessing gig to accept the musical theatre department’s Distinguished Alumni award on April 3, the first night of this year’s musical theater showcase, annually reserved as a fundraiser to keep graduating classes going to NYC.

If you want to wish a fond farewell to College-Conservatory of Music’s theatrical classes of 2008, mark these dates:

 

The CCM Drama showcase will be at 2 and 7 p.m. April 2, then the troupe sets off for New York and Los Angeles; the Musical Theater showcase is April 3-5 and then it’s on to NYC.

 

In each case, you’ll see what the new grads will be performing for agents, casting and producer reps in hopes of getting representation and work.

Tickets go fast-fast-fast, as soon as I get details on reserving, you’ll get details.
