Based on Roald Dahl's beloved novel, Matilda tells the story of an extraordinary little girl who uses her vivid mind and telekinetic abilities to take a stand against her cruel parents and brutal principal. Campers will sing and dance to a few of their favorite songs like "Revolting Children" and "When I Grow Up" while exploring scenes with eccentric and lovable characters in this thrilling story of love, growing up, and the power of imagination.

Showcase
Matilda will culminate in a final performance where students can show off what they learned to family and friends. Cast A will perform at 11:30 and Cast B will perform at 12:30 in the sanctuary at Columbine United Church (students in Cast A are welcome to leave after their performance or stay for the remainder of the camp day for games and activities).
Before the start of camp, families will have the option to request a performance time if they are unable to attend the other, and families with more than one child in camp may request to have both students in the same cast.
Auditions and Casting
Every student is guaranteed a role with at least one line and one solo upon registering. Auditions simply help us to determine which spot each performer will enjoy and gain the most from. Summer camp is a great opportunity for every young actor to break out of their comfort zone and have a chance to take center stage, so every camper will play a featured role.
Auditions for Matilda will be run workshop-style on the first day of camp. No prior preparation is required. The cast list, including which cast each student will perform with, will be sent out by the end of the night on June 24th. We do our best to find a role that each child will be excited about, but please remember that in Stagebugz shows, there truly are no small parts. Additionally, many factors go into casting a show, and not receiving their desired role is not a reflection of a child's level of talent.
