It's just one week away from the Orlando Regional Premiere of 'Matilda, The Musical' at Theatre South Playhouse. With Productions of 'Matilda' popping up all over the country, what will make this local theater's production stand out? The Producers say, 'Size and concept.' Hillary Brook, the theater's Executive Producer explains, 'Our space is so unique in size and shape, that our 'Matilda' will be an entirely different experience than you will get in a traditional proscenium theater.

Our 99 seat L-Shaped Black Box Theater will allow audiences to feel fully surrounded in Matilda's world and witness a re-telling of this piece with a fresh take on the author's brilliant story.
