Musical Theatre: Matilda Jr Showcase (Ages 7-12)

This season, we are entering the enchanting world of Matilda Jr. — a heartwarming and humorous musical about a smart and brave little girl with big dreams (and an even bigger imagination).

Although her parents don’t understand her and her headmistress is downright mean, Matilda uses her wit, courage, and a sprinkle of magic to stand up for herself. She inspires the children around her to do the same — proving that even the smallest person can make a big difference.

This program is the perfect opportunity for kids to shine on stage while creating memories and forming lasting friendships. Led by Children Theatre Company (10 weeks)
