Matilda is the story of an extraordinary little girl with extraordinary powers. The daughter of ignorant parents, Matilda finds refuge in library books, which she reads quickly and begins creating her own stories. Things are no better at school, where Matilda also must face a tyrannical and cruel headmistress, Miss Trunchbull. Matilda finds companionship in her teacher, Miss Honey, as well as her fellow classmates. Brave little Matilda knows she has to stand up against the adults in her world, and in doing so, discovers her own remarkable powers.

Matilda’s bravery teaches Miss Honey and her classmates an important lesson -- that even though life can be hard, “nobody but me is gonna change my story” so “sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty.” We cannot wait to bring Matilda’s
journey to life and we hope you will join us.
