Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family – a man her parents have never met. And if that wasn’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before– keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.

ROYAL Theatre Company to Present MATILDA June 28-30

RTC_MatildaROYAL Theatre Company to Present
MATILDA
June 28-30, 2024

ROYAL Theatre Company, Home of The Children’s Theatre of Mason, is proud to present Matilda June 28-30, 2024, at Mason High School.  Inspired by the twisted genius of Roald Dahl, the Tony Award-winning Matilda The Musical is the captivating masterpiece that revels in the anarchy of childhood, the power of imagination and the inspiring story of a girl who dreams of a better life.

The four performances of Matilda will be:  Friday, June 28th at 7:00 PM; Saturday, June 29th at 2:00 PM and 7:00 PM; and Sunday, June 30th at 2:00 PM. VIP reserved seating tickets can be purchased for any show for $25 each, while supplies last, and general admission reserved seating tickets for any show can be purchased for $15 each.  All tickets can be purchased online beginning May 20th at ROYALTheatreCompany.com and at the door starting one hour before each show.

Matilda is a little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence and psychokinetic powers. She’s unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her school teacher 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!  “Remember somewhere in all of us is the power to change the world,” said Karen Kilgore, President of the ROYAL Theatre Company.

We are also pleased to announce our Presenting Sponsor for Matilda, Ellison Roofing & Exterior Design!  We are so excited and grateful to work with this up and coming, women owned business!

Fans can follow ROYAL Theatre Company on Facebook (ROYAL Theatre Company, Home of Children’s Theatre of Mason) and Instagram (royal_theatre_company).

This production of Matilda is licensed by Musical Theatre International (MTI).

May 31-June 2
Mason High School Theatre

Directed by Rachelle Penilla
Music directed by Jeanne Bilyeu & Savannah Slaby
Choreographed by Megan Denton & Erin Speno-Stout
Produced by Adrianna Hartmann & Emily Nickles

Official cast list (scroll down)

As the half-blood son of a Greek god, Percy Jackson has newly-discovered powers he can’t control, a destiny he doesn’t want, and a mythology textbook’s worth of monsters on his trail.​
When Zeus’s master lightning bolt is stolen and Percy becomes the prime suspect, he has to find and return the bolt to prove his innocence and prevent a war between the gods. But to succeed on his quest, Percy will have to do more than catch the thief. He must travel to the Underworld and back; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of betrayal by a friend; and come to terms with the father who abandoned him.
