Background: 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!
Packed with high-energy dance numbers and catchy songs, Matilda Jr. is a joyous girl power romp. Children and adults alike will be thrilled and delighted by the story of the special little girl with an extraordinary imagination.
Rehearsal Schedule
Rehearsals will be held twice per week on Tuesdays and Fridays from 5:00pm-8:00pm. The first rehearsal will be on Tuesday, August 13th.

Casting
Please note that auditioners are auditioning for a part in the show, not for a specific part. If there is only one part you are interested in or only one ensemble group you’re interested in being in (dance/tap ensemble only, for example), please let us know at your audition so that this information can be considered during casting.
Callback requests will be virtual and will be emailed out after the final in-person audition on August 4th. Virtual callbacks will be due by Tuesday, August 6th, at 5:00pm. Casting emails will be sent out following callbacks, indicating whether or not an actor has been cast in the show and which part (if any) they have received.
