Yes, you can view the list of characters for Matilda here.
There will be separate music and reading/blocking rehearsals. I will group kids together based on the scenes they are in. We will work around everyone's other activities/vacations/etc.
I will have a schedule for May/June right after the show has been cast.
Don't know which part you'd like to audition for? That's okay! Here's a list to get you familiar with the characters.
If you just want to audition, and don't have a particular part in mind, please just show up at one of the audition times, and I will have a part for you to read.
