Joliet Drama Guild is thrilled to announce auditions for Roald Dahl’s captivating masterpiece “Matilda” directed by Chrissy Thoele.

​

Matilda is a little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence and psychokinetic powers. She's unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher, Miss Honey. During her first term at school, the two forge a bond as Miss Honey begins to recognize and appreciate Matilda's extraordinary personality. Matilda's school life isn't completely smooth sailing, however – the school's mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves to punish 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!

 

Children and adults alike will be thrilled and delighted by the story of the special little girl with an extraordinary imagination.
