Matilda Jr. – a Powerful Performance!
A tremendous congratulations to the WAMS cast and crew of Matilda Jr. the Musical who put on phenomenal shows March 23-24 at Seaholm High School Auditorium! From the powerful “Quiet” and Playful “When I Grow Up” to the high-energy “Revolting Children” number, the performances were packed with excitement and inspiration! It was truly evident how hard these talented 4th-8th graders worked to present an amazing production!
Thank you to all of you who joined us and helped make this show such an amazing event. It was great to see so many OLQM school and parish families at the performances. With nearly 800 total attendees, it was one of our biggest WAMS audiences!
A great congratulations and thank you to our Producers Amy Dobski, OLQM parent, and Audrey Landgraff, OLQM teacher for their time and leadership dedicated to the show and support of the cast, crew, parents and volunteers throughout the production process. Special thanks to Tiffany Victoria Sims and Lauren Cornwell, our show director and co-director respectively for sharing their talent and passion for theatrical arts. We greatly also appreciate Macy Finnerty, Dream Arts Co. intern for her support in choreography and rehearsals.
Thank you so very much to our sponsors and those who supported our OLQM chocolate bar sales.
Your generosity truly helps to offset show costs.
