We were so thrilled to present this special pilot production of Music Theatre International’s new junior version of the Broadway hit Matilda The Musical. An instant favorite among RCT’s young actors, Matilda gave this group of dedicated performers the chance to be a little bit naughty. And it provided some fun creative challenges for those of us who worked on the show; for example, turning a teen boy into the menacing Trunchbull!
