Step into the extraordinary world of Matilda JR at Columbus Children’s Theatre’s week-long summer camp, where young performers will explore the magic of Roald Dahl’s beloved story! Tailored to different age groups, this camp offers an exciting, hands-on experience that combines performance, creativity, and teamwork. Students will rotate through on-stage performance classes and backstage technical workshops, ensuring a well-rounded theatrical experience for all.

In the on-stage performance classes, students will embody the bright and brave Matilda, along with other memorable characters like Miss Trunchbull and Miss Honey. They will refine their acting, singing, and dancing skills through rehearsals of iconic songs and scenes, diving deep into Matilda’s themes of resilience, intelligence, and kindness. Whether mastering the art of playing pranks or showcasing powerful solos, campers will gain confidence and a sense of accomplishment as they work towards a final performance that brings the magic of Matilda JR to life.

Behind the scenes, technical classes will introduce campers to the world of stagecraft, where they’ll design sets that evoke Matilda’s whimsical world, create costumes that reflect her unique story, and learn about lighting, sound, and carpentry. This camp offers an immersive experience for both budding actors and aspiring technicians, giving them the chance to explore all the aspects of theatrical production.

Join us for a week of creativity, collaboration, and discovery as we bring Roald Dahl’s Matilda JR to life on stage. Whether on stage or behind the scenes, every camper will contribute to a performance full of heart, humor, and magic!
