Paris, Tenn.–KPAC Young Artists’ 13-17 year old performers will present Roald Dahl’s Matilda JR this Friday evening, July 11 at 7 pm and Saturday afternoon, July 12 at 2 PM at the Krider Performing Arts Center in Paris. Admission is $12 for adults, $10 for senior adults (60+), and $8 for youth ages 3-17.  Purchase tickets in advance at KriderCenter.com or at the door with cash. 
 

Inspired by the twisted genius of Roald Dahl, this youth version of the Tony-award winning hit musical is the fantastical story of a precocious five-year-old prodigy with telekinesis, who faces an uncaring home and overbearing school headmistress, while befriending her maternal and supportive young teacher. 

Rebellion is nigh in Matilda JR., a gleefully witty ode to the anarchy of childhood and the power of imagination! This 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 grown-ups a lesson.

Packed with high-energy dance numbers and catchy songs, Matilda JR. is a joyous romp. Children and adults alike will be thrilled and delighted by the story of the special little girl with an extraordinary imagination.
