Auditions for the musical Matilda – Maine Premiere!
Midcoast Youth Theater
Saturday, February 9 and Sunday, February 10, 2019
Midcoast Youth Theater (MYT) will be producing Maine’s premiere of the musical Matilda set to open May 2-5th at Crooker Theatre at Brunswick High School. Based on Roald Dahl’s classic children’s book of the same name, Matilda is a bright little girl born to dimwitted parents who discard and belittle her especially for her love of books. At school she takes on Miss Trunchbull the wicked headmistress in order to take a stand and change her destiny. She makes school friends and finds a caring protector in her teacher Miss Honey. Matilda’s bravery teaches Miss Honey and her classmates an important lesson that even though life can be hard sometimes you need to revolt and that, “nobody but me is gonna change my story” so “sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty.”
Auditions for anyone age 5 and above are set for Saturday and Sunday, February 9th and 10th at Mid-Coast Presbyterian Church in Topsham (84 Main Street). Specific age groups and role audition time slots are listed on our website and facebook page. Tammy Holmes, Director, and Courtney Babbidge, Musical Director are ready for a large turnout to this all age show! FMI go to
