Posted

MENDOTA - The MEF (Mendota Education Foundation) will celebrate their 20th anniversary production this summer with Roald Dahl’s “Matilda the Musical.”

Auditions will take place at the Mendota High School Auditorium on Saturday, May 18 from 9 a.m. to noon and Sunday, May 19 from 1 to 4 p.m. Callbacks will be on Monday, May 20 at 6 p.m. The musical includes roles for adults, teens and children (age 8 and up). This summer’s performances will be Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 2, 3 and 4 at the Mendota High School Auditorium. 

Roald Dahl’s “Matilda The Musical” is the story of an extraordinary girl who, armed with a vivid imagination and a sharp mind, dares to take a stand and change her own destiny. Inspired by the twisted genius of Roald Dahl, the Tony Award-winning musical is a captivating masterpiece from the Royal Shakespeare Company that revels in the anarchy of childhood, the power of imagination and the inspiring story of a girl who dreams of a better life. With the book by Dennis Kelly and original songs by Tim Minchin, Matilda has won 47 international awards and continues to thrill sold-out audiences of all ages around the world.

This is the 20th year of MEF productions, which help to raise funds for classroom grants that are awarded to Mendota schools.

Additional details and information about the musical are available on the Mendota Education Foundation Summer Stock Facebook page. Questions may also be directed to Christine or Stephanie Benson at (815) 434-0705 or mefsummerstock@gmail.com.
