SHENANDOAH – This weekend, the Shenandoah Valley Drama Club will present Matilda The Musical.

Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical is the story of an extraordinary girl who dares to take a stand and change her own destiny, according to a description provided by the school.

“Matilda is unloved by her parents Mr. and Mrs. Wormwood, but bonds with her lovable school teacher Miss Honey,” the description reads. “The headmistress of the school, Agatha Trunchbull loves to punish children who do not abide by her rules. With Matilda’s courage, she could be the saving grace for her big and little kid peers!”
