Ages 8 – 18Are your kids ready to take their theatrical performance to the next level? The Playhouse JR. Ensemble is a great next step. Students ages 8 to 18 will team up on Saturday mornings from September through February to choreograph a magical 15-minute cut of Matilda The Musical JR, which will be performed for judges at the Junior Theatre Festival West in Sacramento from February 5-7, 2027!
This year, we will hold in person auditions on June 27 and August 1 from 10am-1pm. You only need to sign up for ONE of these audition dates. If your child wishes to audition but you will be out of town, please contact us to discuss alternative options. No preparation is necessary for the in person audition, however auditioners should dress to move.
PLEASE NOTE: We have a limited number of partial scholarships available for our classes. If you are interested in a scholarship, please apply using the link below.
ABOUT ROALD DAHL’S MATILDA THE MUSICAL JR.
Rebellion is nigh in Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical 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.
“A community where children can come as they are, support and celebrate each other.”
