Actors Youth Theatre will present Matilda Jr. March 19-29 at the Tuscany Theatre in Gilbert.
Matilda Jr. is th story of a girl who dreams of a better life and the children she inspires will have audiences rooting for the "revolting children" who are out to teach the grownups a lesson.
Matilda has astonishing wit, intelligence — and special powers. She's unloved by her parents but impresses her schoolteacher, the highly loveable Miss Honey.
Matilda's school life isn't completely smooth sailing, however — the school's mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves thinking up new punishments for those who don't abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts, and could be the school pupils' saving grace.
Tickets are $20. Performances are at 7 p.m. Wednesday-Saturday with an additional 3 p.m. show Saturdays.
