Reif Theater Arts Presents: Matilda JR.
About
Rebellion is nigh in Matilda JR., a
gleefully witty ode to 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!
Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical JR. is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.
