BEREA, KY – The Spotlight Playhouse is excited to announce its upcoming production of Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical JR., a charmingly witty story celebrating the anarchy of childhood and the power of imagination. The musical follows the journey of Matilda, a young girl with incredible wit, intelligence, and special powers. Despite facing neglect from her cruel parents, Matilda finds support in her loving schoolteacher, Miss Honey. Together, they stand up to the school’s malicious headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, who despises children and delights in devising brutal punishments for rule-breakers. Matilda’s courage and resourcefulness may just prove to be the saving grace for her fellow pupils.
Directed by the talented trio of Sarah Jeck, Kelly Fischer, and Jazzlyn Threlkeld, with Letha Hembree as the Musical Director, this captivating production promises to have audiences cheering for the “revolting children” as they teach the grown-ups a lesson. Performances will take place at The Spotlight Playhouse in Berea, KY on May 26, 27, 28, June 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, and 11, with varying showtimes.
