ELA Matilda 2025

ELA Performing Arts is excited to announce that this year’s school musical is Matilda! We’re bringing this high-energy, heartwarming show to life with a full production featuring our 5th year of partnership with Inclusion Cheer for Inclusion Theatre. The production was directed and choreographed by Mrs. Butler, with music direction by Mrs. Kugler, and featured a live orchestra under the direction of Mrs. Willis.

Director’s Note:

I love this quote: “And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.” (Roald Dahl) We have found magic in Matilda! And even better, we have found magic creating theatre for you with our new Matilda family! Tonight, we invite you to share in that magic— enjoy every little, unlikely moment! ~Mrs. Butler

Matilda Performed October 3, 4*, 6, 9*, 10, and 11, 2025 (*Inclusion Performances)
