Tyler (Michael Banks) with Steffanie Leigh (Mary Poppins) and Kara Oates (Jane Banks)

Off Broadway - SHINE

Merna caught the performance bug when he was six years old, doing local community theater in his hometown with a production of “Seussical the Musical.” 

At the age of eight, he began to work professionally and has appeared in the off-Broadway productions of “Afterlight,” “Shine,” and “Displaced Wedding,” where he was featured in a moving performance of a family in the Holocaust.  After catching the eye of a “Mary Poppins” producer,  he was cast as Michael Banks and joined the first national tour of the production for a year  followed by a Broadway run with the iconic musical. Enjoy these photos and video clips of Tyler's time on Cherry Tree Lane and other NY stages.
