Matilda JR Main Stage 2024

Main Stage Productions: While registration and enrollment are open to all, performers are required to audition and are given a role based on their skill level. Due to the intensity of the rehearsal period as well as the heightened responsibilities of each actor, we recommend that students have had some prior performance experience. 

Synopsis: 

Rebellion is nigh in Matilda JR., a gleefully witty ode to the the anarchy of childhood and the power of imagination! This story of a girl who dreams of a better life and the children she inspires will have audiences rooting for the "revolting children" who are out to teach the grown-ups a lesson.

Matilda has astonishing wit, intelligence... and special powers! She's unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher, the highly loveable Miss Honey. Matilda's school life isn't completely smooth sailing, however – the school's mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves thinking up new punishments for those who don't abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts, and could be the school pupils' saving grace!
