DIRECTOR'S NOTE
Addie Holman
Inspired by the twisted genius of Roald Dahl, this Jr. version of the Tony Award-winning “Matilda The Musical” is a captivating masterpiece that focuses on the trials of childhood, the power of imagination, and the inspiring story of a girl who dreams of a better life. As usual, Dahl has created an inquisitive and unique child living in a world where they don’t quite “fit in.” Against all odds she finds the strength within herself to change her world for the better. She is strong, resilient, honest, loyal, and not afraid to speak out when a wrong is happening. Like all Roald Dahl’s stories for children, “Matilda” speaks to our hearts because every one of us, at times, has felt like an outcast, an oddball, abnormal, and even unwanted in this case.
“Nobody else is going to put it right for me; nobody but me is going to change my story.” – Matilda
What a wonderful reminder to both our students and the rest of us that we all have the power we need to change the world – and it lives right here within us. Thank you so much for supporting our theater and these amazing young performers on this journey of discovery. This experience has been “magical” to say the least and I am so thankful to have been a part of it.
“Those who don’t believe in magic…will never find it.” -Roald Dahl
