You Want to Change Your Story

Peru will be filled by the smell of rebellion when Adirondack Regional Theatre’s Young Director Series presents Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical JR. The show has been moved from Heyworth Mason Park to the Peru HS Auditorium. It was announced today due to the possibility of a storm on Saturday. Roald Dahl’sMatilda The Musical JR. tells the story of an extraordinary girl who, armed with a vivid imagination and a sharp mind, dares to take a stand and change her own destiny. The Young Director Series consists of actors 8-17 years of age.

Matilda, a little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence and psychokinetic powers, lives with cruel parents who find her to be a nuisance, a lousy little worm, and a bore. When Matilda enters her first term at school, she captures the attention of Miss Honey, a kind teacher, and the two form a wonderful friendship. Unfortunately, the school is ruled by a tempestuous and mean headmistress named Miss Trunchbull, who hates children and delivers cruel and unjust punishments to all her charges. Matilda is determined to change her story, but will her cleverness and courage be enough to withstand the reign of Miss Trunchbull?

This project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and New York State Legislature and administered by the Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts.

Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical JR. is presented through special arrangement with and all authorized materials are supplied by Music Theatre International 423 West 55^th Street, New York, NY 10019,212-541-4684, mtishows.com.
