With spring rolling around the corner, it’s that time of year: HMS’ annual play run by Ms. Garrity, Ms. Cabibbo, and Mrs. Gauntt. This year’s 2025 musical, Matilda Jr., follows the story of Matilda, an extremely bright young child being terrorized by her new school’s head mistress. Matilda was an extremely high-grossing movie made in 1996, based on Roald Dahl’s book from 1988. The musical was released on January 6th, 2023, and the drama club is very excited to recreate it and do it justice! Starring in the play as Matilda herself is 8th grader Liliana Tower, 8th grader Selena Lyons will star as Miss Honey, 8th grader Gigi Galli as Ms. Trunchbull, 8th grader Julia Gallagher as Bruce, and 8th grade Julianne DeKlerk as Matilda’s best friend, Lavender. In addition, there is a talented ensemble of 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. The show nights are March 27th and 28th at 7pm. Tickets are being sold in the cafeteria this week for $10. We hope to see you there!
