SUMMER 2026 - MATILDA JR! (ages 10-16) - 7/20-8/2
Matilda JR.
Matilda Jr. is a joyful, high-energy musical about kids who dare to think for themselves and stand up to unfair grown-ups. Set in a world where children are often overlooked, the story follows a group of clever students navigating life at Crunchem Hall, a school ruled by the fearsome Miss Trunchbull, whose strict and outrageous punishments keep everyone on edge.
Amid the chaos, Matilda and her classmates find friendship, courage, and their own voices through imagination, teamwork, and a shared love of learning. With the help of the warm and gentle Miss Honey, the children discover that being kind, brave, and a little bit rebellious can change everything. Packed with playful mischief, heartfelt moments, and toe-tapping songs, the show celebrates the power of storytelling, resilience, and believing in yourself.
Matilda Jr. is a funny, empowering adventure that reminds us that when kids come together, they are capable of extraordinary things.
