Local Entertainment - 'Matilda'
Three Shows Only
Ralston Middle School, in partnership with San Carlos Children’s Theater, presents Roald Dahl’s production of "Matilda The Musical JR."
Based on the beloved book “Matilda” by Roald Dahl, "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 against the school’s cruel headmistress, Miss Trunchbull. In doing so, she changes her own destiny and that of her kind teacher, Miss Honey.
The show is packed with high-energy dance numbers and catchy songs. Show organizers predict you will be on your feet rooting for Matilda and all the revolting children, and you'll especially cheer for the performances of the local Ralston students who act, sing, and dance their hearts out.
