Palestine Community Theatre will open its Summer production of Roald Dahl’s Matilda at its home in the historic Texas Theatre, 213 W. Crawford, in downtown Palestine on Friday, July 21. This production, sponsored by Dr. Michael and Mrs. Charmaine Wilkinson, will play two weekends (July 21-23 and 28-30) with curtain at 7:30 PM on Friday and Saturday nights and 2:00 PM on Sunday afternoons. There will be a complimentary reception on opening night that begins at 6:30 PM. Tickets, which are $12 for students (ages 4-18) and $17 for adults, can be purchased in advance at www.PCTboxoffice.com and at the door before each performance.
Based on Roald Dahl’s beloved book, Matilda, this musical is sure to entertain. There are characters you’ll love, like Matilda (Peyson McKinney) and Ms. Honey (Brenna Hart), and those you’ll love to hate, like the Trunchbull (Kaleb Cole). There’s music, dance, and the story of a “special little girl with an extraordinary imagination.” The cast and crew have worked all summer to bring you their very best, and you won’t want to miss your chance to see them shine. Come out and support the Arts in East Texas while enjoying PCT’s beautiful, historic facility.
