Matilda JR Summer Youth Production
Tupelo Community Theatre will present its Summer Youth Theatre production of Matilda Jr, Book by Dennis Kelly and Music and Lyrics by Tim Minchin, June 23 and 24 at 7:30 p.m. with a matinee performance on the 25th at 2 p.m. 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. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students and younger and are available by calling the TCT office at 662-844-1935.
