We had the chance to attend opening night and were amazed at the outstanding quality of the performance, which earned a well deserved standing ovation. Roald Dahl’s story aligns well with what we at Progressive believe: children are not only resilient when faced with obstacles, but also that it only takes one person to care to nurture the student who wants to excel beyond what others would expect of them. We believe in the power of children to reach higher and achieve great things, unencumbered by limitations of time or ‘age norms’, giving them the freedom to move forward at their pace.

 

If you’ve ever wondered what elementary students are capable of doing, do go see Matilda. The children in this production are quite simply amazing! Their performance in the opening scene was absolutely superb, followed by hours of fabulous acting and singing with choreography that they executed so perfectly.

 

This show is a delight. Take the time to go see it, you won’t regret it.
