Aspire PAC To Hold Audition For MATILDA JR. Pilot Production

On September 15 and 16, Aspire Performing Arts Company will hold auditions for its upcoming pilot production of Matilda JR.! Aspire is thrilled to once again partner with Music Theatre International (MTI) for this exciting pilot process, which allows MTI to fine-tune the script, music, and materials before the rights become available to schools and theatres.

Adapted from the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical - Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical - Matilda JR. is the story of an extraordinary girl who, armed with a vivid imagination and a sharp mind, dares to take a stand and change her own destiny. With a book by Dennis Kelly and original songs by Tim Minchin, Matilda has won 47 international awards and continues to thrill sold-out audiences of all ages around the world.

Auditions are open to children and teens ages 8 through 18, with no prior experience necessary. Pre-registration for auditions is preferred. For more information, visit www.aspirepac.com or call/email Aspire PAC at 201-220-4933 or aspirepac@gmail.com.
