Matilda Jr.

Get ready to Rise Up and join the fun at The Firehouse Center for the Arts! We’re gearing up for auditions for Matilda Jr., and we want YOU to be a part of this super exciting adventure! If you're between the ages of 7 and 17, come show us your energy and help bring this amazing story to life! It's going to be a blast!

Rebellion is nigh in Matilda 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!

Auditions are coming up on Tuesday, January 7th from 5:00-8:00 PM! Callbacks will take place on Thursday, January 9th from 5:00-8:00 PM. To sign up, just fill out our Google form. Once you're registered, you'll get an email with your audition time. For your audition, be ready to sing 16 bars of a song from a musical! Don’t worry if you don’t have sheet music—you can sing a cappella (without music) if you’d like. We can’t wait to hear your amazing voices! If you are unable to attend in person, you are welcome to send a video audition!
