I want to address to our audiences that the story of Matilda is Revolting and Matilda Wormwood is at the heart of it all. This exceptional little girl never once lets the word little define her abilities or silence her voice when it’s time to “put things right.” In fact, Matilda Wormwood is the catalyst for a REVOLT that is anything but little. Matilda REVOLTS against the story she has been given and has the courage to rewrite it. When she begins rewriting her own story Matilda inspires the world around her that sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty in order to make things right. Over the past two months 41 students of SWFL have stepped into the world of Matilda and have treated the telling of this story with professionalism, respect, and most importantly heart. We invite our audiences to see the world through Matilda’s eyes and we hope to inspire you to join the REVOLT and begin rewriting any part of your story you need to in order to make things right. As my boss and mentor Kody C Jones always says: I ask that you laugh, cry, think, and feel and that you don’t sit back and relax but sit on the edge of your seat and engage. The story of Matilda is simply Revolting. CHRISTINA DECARLO, DIRECTOR ASSISTANT EDUCATION DIRECTOR FLORIDA REPERTORY THEATRE 2019 FALL CLASSES NOW ENROLLING Don’t Miss Out on Classes for ALL AGES!
