Mid-Prairie High School Drama will present the musical Matilda, Friday and Saturday November 1 and 2 at 7:00 pm, and Sunday November 3 at 2:00 pm at Mid-Prairie High School.
Inspired by the twisted genius of Roald Dahl, The musical Matilda is about an extraordinary young girl who is unloved by her cruel parents, and bullied by the school's mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull. With courage and cleverness in equal amounts, Matilda dares to take a stand and change her own destiny, with the help of the other “Revolting Children.”
