What To Know About This Production

"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 lovable 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."

Auditions For Matilda Jr.

What To Expect At Auditions

You should prepare 30 seconds of an upbeat song. This could be anything you'd like--Beyonce, a song from Matilda, or even Happy Birthday!
You will also be given sides from the script for cold reads. This is when you are given a small section of the script to rehearse with a group assigned at the audition. Then, after a few minutes, your group will come back into the room & perform it for the director (aka Mrs. Stein).
Some people might be finished before 5:30, but no one will be kept later than that. Anyone released early may go to the After School Room.

--Students & Caregivers should read the Policy Slides located here:

--Print the Ensemble Agreement & sign it along with your Caregiver. Then bring it to Mrs. Stein. You will not be cast if she does not receive a signed copy of this form.
