SUMMARY:Matilda Jr.
DESCRIPTION:The Firehouse Center for the Arts Presents Matilda Jr.! \nBook by Dennis Kelly \nMusic and Lyrics by Tim Minchin \nPurchase Tickets\n\nRebellion is nigh in Matilda JR.\, a gleefully witty ode to the 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. \nMatilda 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.
