"Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical is our first ever cross over between our theatre education department and our professional mainstage series," says Sarah Bailey, director. "It has been wonderful to watch our talented young performers observe the professional actors and learn from their process. It is also a hoot to watch our talented adults enjoy 'playing along with the kids.'"

In addition to welcoming actors to its stage, the creative team behind the show includes Director Sarah Bailey, Choreographer Rachel Palermo, Music Director Oliver Deak, Equity Stage Manager Emily Wright, Equity Assistant Stage Manager Amanda Ricard, Costume Designer Irene Mack-Shafer, Scenic Designer John Rawling, Lighting Designer Jonathon Hunter, and Intimacy Director Julia Fisher.

Support for this production comes from Acme Fresh Market, the GAR Foundation, Peg's Foundation, Akron Community Foundation, the Char and Chuck Fowler Family Foundation and the Ohio Arts Council.
