TexARTS Musical Theater Academy Presents: Matilda, Jr.

Rebellion 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.

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.

Auditions are for placement, and students must be enrolled in this production-based class to audition.

Performances will be live and in the TexARTS Kam & James Morris Theater.

Ages 7-16, students will be cast and grouped by age.  

Important Dates: 

August 14 - Placement auditions
August 21 - Rehearsals begin
November 11 & 18 - Tech rehearsals
November 12 & 19 - Dress rehearsals

MEDIA ALERT

Ending childhood cancer - one step at a time
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital hosts St. Jude Walk/Run on Sept. 18

WHAT: This September, passionate supporters will come together for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month by participating in the St. Jude Walk/Run presented by Window World of Austin. Supporters of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital are encouraged to sign up online to walk, run or participate how they choose while fundraising for the lifesaving mission of St. Jude: Finding cures. Saving children.

Participants will have the opportunity to enjoy a flexible event experience in September, while joining a movement happening in every community across the country. Because there is a virtual component to St. Jude Walk/Run, there are no geographic limitations and it allows the ability to participate for people who are immunocompromised, need ADA accommodations, etc. St. Jude Walk/Run is truly an event everyone can enjoy.

The entire Austin community is invited to participate in the event, which will feature a patient family speaker, scenic 5K, family friendly activities and live entertainment. Registration is Free for adults and children.

Register, volunteer, make a donation or learn more about this event at stjude.org/walkaustin.

WHY: Thanks to generous donors and events like the St. Jude Walk/Run presented by Window World of Austin, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food - because all a family should worry about is helping their child live. Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to more than 80 percent since it opened more than 50 years ago. St. Jude won't stop until no child dies from cancer, but can't do it alone. With the support of participants, donors and more, we can end childhood cancer together.

WHEN: Saturday, Sept. 18
7:30 a.m. Check-in
8:30 a.m. Welcome and St. Jude patient family introduction
