ALTOONA, Pa. (WTAJ) — Based on the twisted genius of Roald Dahl’s classic children’s book, Matilda the Musical follows Matilda Wormwood, “an extraordinary girl with a vivid imagination and a sharp mind whose talents are constantly belittled by her cruel parents and her hostile headmistress, the outrageous and wicked Miss Trunchbull.”
The Altoona Community Theatre presents Matilda The Musical from September 21, 2023, through September 24, 2023, at the iconic Mishler Theater.
Studio 814’s Rebecca Petner sits down with Jason Schwartz, Director of Matilda the Musical, Hannah Hipp who plays Matilda Wormwood, and Kayla Rosas who plays Miss Honey.
