Seeking Kids & Teens for "Matilda the Musical"

Placerville, CA, United States
ID: 543298Exp: 5/9/2023
Description:

Boys and Girls ages 8-18 Sought for "Matilda The Musical". See the details below. About the project: Matilda is the story of an extraordinary little girl with amazing 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: Call-Back Auditions.
