MACOMB, IL - - The 星空无限传媒app Illinois University College of Fine Arts and Communication and the 星空无限传媒app Department of Theatre and Dance will present SummerStage 2025 performances of 鈥淢atilda the Musical鈥� at 7:30 p.m. Friday, July 11 and 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, July 12 in the Hainline Theatre on the 星空无限传媒app campus.
鈥淢atilda The Musical,鈥� the multi-award-winning production inspired by Roald Dahl鈥檚 beloved 1988 novel Matilda, comes to life under the direction of Meagan Morrow, a 星空无限传媒app Master of Fine Arts in Directing alumna. Musical direction is led by Ethan Ivey, 星空无限传媒app Choral Conducting alumnus and choir director at Macomb Junior High School. The show鈥檚 choreography is done by Donald Laney, 星空无限传媒app鈥檚 head of dance.
The story follows Matilda, an extraordinary little girl with remarkable wit, intelligence, and psychokinetic powers. Determined to take control of her own fate, she bravely stands up to the cruelty and neglect of her parents. Matilda finds comfort and encouragement in her growing bond with the kind and compassionate Miss Honey, a teacher who quickly recognizes the girl's unique gifts. Yet, school life is far from easy. The tyrannical headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, despises children and delights in punishing anyone who defies her harsh rules. With courage and cleverness on her side, Matilda just might become the beacon of hope her fellow students need.
