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.
It doesn’t take a genius to realize that life isn’t fair, but five-year-old Matilda is a genius–and maybe a little bit more. When Matilda arrives at Crunchem Hall, she faces a bully even worse than her selfish, oblivious parents: the school’s tyrannical, sadistic headmistress, Miss Trunchbull. With the help of her classmates and a caring teacher, Miss Honey, Matilda proves that everybody has the power to change their own story. This abridged version of the smash hit Broadway musical is appropriate for audiences of all ages.

The Saturday, March 19 at 11AM performance is Sensory Friendly
Sensory Friendly performances are designed to create an atmosphere at performing arts events that is friendly and welcoming to families with children on the autism spectrum or other disabilities that create sensory sensitivities.
Though all families are welcome at both performances, the 11AM Saturday Sensory Friendly performance will include the following:
• Choose your seating in the theatre based on your needs whether you want to be close or far from the stage.
• A guide to visiting the theatre to help prepare children is available prior to the performance
• Seating capacity is limited so there is space for patrons to move about and choose seats in the area most suitable for their needs.
• Staff are aware of the special accommodations that may be needed.
• A question and answer session with the cast after the performance.
