​MATH will hold two audition dates for Roald Dahl's Matilda The Musical:

 

Saturday, April 25th from 10:00am to 5:00pm and Sunday, April 26th from 10:00am to 3:00pm.

 

Callbacks will be held on Sunday afternoon, from 3:00pm to 5:00pm

We will be holding dance auditions each day from 10:00am - 11:00am, if you would like to be cast in a leading or ensemble role, attendance at one of the dance auditions is mandatory. 

 

Individual auditions will start at 11:00am with either monologues or sides. Please sign up for a 15 minute time slot from below, and let us know which part(s) you would like to audition for by emailing your preferred slot and a headshot to shipleyj@catskillmtn.org with the subject line: "(YOUR NAME) - MATH Matilda Audition". We will email you the appropriate sides at that time. Tandem auditions ARE allowed, if you would like to audition with a friend, or as a family, rather than solo. 

We are also happy to view submitted video auditions. Once we've seen everyone, we will either cast or set up follow up auditions for chemistry reads. 

Performance dates for Matilda are as follows:

Thursday, July 2nd, 6:00PM

Friday, July 3rd, 2:00PM, 6:00PM

Sunday, July 5th, 2:00PM

A preliminary rehearsal schedule is listed below.

Show Breakdown

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!
