TSP is now casting for all abilities, ethnicities, gender identities, shapes, sizes, and types for "MATILDA Jr." Seeking 3rd - 10th graders for this pre-professional training production.
Rebellion is nigh in Matilda JR., a gleefully witty ode to the anarchy of childhood and the power of imagination! This story of a girl who dreams of a better life and the children she inspires will have audiences rooting for the "revolting children" who are out to teach the grown-ups a lesson.
