Youthful rebellion takes center stage in Matilda JR., a gleefully witty musical with a cast of 21 local children showing at Willits High School auditorium July 31 through August 9. The Willits Community Theatre Gateway to the Stage summer camp recreates Roald Dahl’s story of school girl Matilda and her friends rising up against an evil headmistress. Packed with high energy dance numbers and catchy songs, this is a joyous ode to kid power. Shows are Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:00pm and Sunday matinees at 2:00pm. Tickets are $15 and available online at www.wctperformingartscenter.org or at the door.
