MEREDITH — The Winnipesaukee Playhouse Education Department and the Winni Players Community Theatre, two branches of the Winnipesaukee Playhouse in Meredith, are holding auditions for their joint production of Roald Dahl’s “Matilda the Musical” on Sunday, Sept. 22, and Monday, Sept. 23.
In 2010, Dahl’s beloved children’s book leapt to the stage bringing his characters to life with dynamic songs and innovative staging, winning 16 Best Musical awards. It’s the inspiring story of an extraordinary girl with an unbounded imagination who proves that, despite the odds, you can do anything you put your mind to.
The production will be directed by the Playhouse’s Artistic Director Timothy L’Ecuyer. Rehearsals begin Monday, Sept. 30, and performances are Dec. 12-15.
Auditions are open to local adults and students ages 8 and above. Those registered to audition are asked to prepare a short monologue and song. For more information, visit
