MATILDA JR. Comes to Town Hall Theater This Month
Matilda Jr! will be presented from July 21-23 at Middlebury’s Town Hall Theater.
Rebellion is nigh in Matilda Jr., a gleefully witty ode to the anarchy of childhood and the power of imagination! This story of a girl who dreams of a better life and the children she inspires will have audiences rooting for the "revolting children" who are out to teach the grown-ups a lesson.
Matilda has astonishing wit, intelligence... and special powers! She's unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher, the highly loveable Miss Honey.
Matilda's school life isn't completely smooth sailing, however – the school's mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves thinking up new
punishments for those who don't abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and
cleverness in equal amounts and could be the school pupils' saving grace!
Packed with high-energy dance numbers and catchy songs, Matilda Jr. is a joyous
girl-power romp. Children and adults alike will be thrilled and delighted by the story of the special little girl with an extraordinary imagination.
