Roald Dahl’s classic children’s book comes to life in the vibrant musical telling of Matilda, a young girl whose imagination and love of learning are rejected by her unscrupulous parents. With encouragement from her teacher, Miss Honey, Matilda’s spunk takes her on a journey to create her own destiny. With larger-than-life characters, endearing songs, energetic dances, and a touch of magic, Matilda has delighted audiences across the country since its Broadway debut in 2013. Kate Letterman Conway will direct the production for Jasper-based Actors Community Theatre.
Auditions for Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical will be held on May 10 and 11 from 6-9pm EST at the Jasper Arts Center. Please enter through the main lobby entrance. Ages 8 and up are welcome to audition.
