Sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty if you want to change your story!

The streets of Lawrence will be filled by the smell of rebellion when The Nature School of Central Indiana’s theatre club, ACT IT OUT! presents Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical JR.! Based on the beloved book “Matilda” by Roald Dahl and adapted from the award-winning full-length musical, Roald Dahl’s Matilda 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.

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?

Early on in the show Matilda sings, ‘Even if you are little you can do a lot’ and it is such a powerful reminder for each of us, tall and small, to take ownership in how we can create our reality! Come out to the theater to show the young children of TNS they CAN do a lot, no matter what age!
