"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.'"

Rubber City Theatre's production stars Emma Knapp and Annie Pelletier as Matilda, Equity Actor James Stover as Miss Trunchball, Mikaela Ray as Miss Honey, Anna Marmaduke as Mrs. Wormwood, Equity Actor Matt Gittins as Mr. Wormwood, Gavin Ditz as Michael Wormwood, Sharon Jackson as Mrs. Phelps, and Jay Sigler, Anna Popa, Isabelle Bailey, Jayson Reppart, Molly Oldham as the adult ensemble joining 22 young performers in the show!

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.
