Looking for Boys & Girls for "Matilda" The Musical
The directors are seeking boys and girls to participate in "Matilda" The Musical. Details are provided below. About the project: Matilda is the story of an extraordinary little girl with extraordinary powers. The daughter of abusive parents, Matilda finds refuge in library books, which she reads quickly and in creating her own stories. Things are no better at school, where Matilda also must face a tyrannical and cruel headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, who believes in Crunchem Hall’s motto: “Bambinatum est Magitum,” or “Children are Maggots.” She finds companionship in her teacher, Miss Honey, though well-intentioned, is shy and fragile. Brave little Matilda knows she has to stand up against the adults in her world, and in doing so, discovers her own remarkable powers. Matilda’s bravery teaches Miss Honey and her classmates an important lesson -- that even though life can be hard, “nobody but me is gonna change my story” so “sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty.” Additional info: Show Dates: June 2 - 10. You must be at least 15 years old by the time of the Auditions. Come prepared with a minute-long cut from a musical theater song, as well as a monologue that highlights a British accent. NOTES: This is a British musical, and the directors will be honoring that by using British accents. So you must be able to do a British accent, sing, and have dance experience. If you are interested please apply.
