SEEKING
Equity girl actor/singers for MATILDA (Age: 8 – 10) **MUST BE 4’4” OR SHORTER** Strong singer and confident speaker. Good understanding of text and intelligent approach to acting. Matilda should look like the runt of the litter. She does not appear posh or contemporary, rather more damaged and weak from a working class background. However, she is extremely bright, fearless and focused, and able to speak assertively. Matilda is a fiercely clever child, living in an abusive household she escapes into books and her imagination.
PREPARATION
Please bring a photo and resume. Please bring sheet music for a short musical theatre song that shows strong belt range. Children should show a straightforward belted sound true to their young ages, not an imitation of an adult sound.
