Matilda

Summer of 2022, I got to perform in one of my favorite musicals, Matilda, as Miss Honey at Hope Theatre in Vint Hill, Virginia. This production was by far one of the most rewarding processes as I was able to connect with young performers, something I don’t always get the privilege of doing.

Hope Theatre does a summer production every year that they put on in one week. Rehearsals start on a Monday and the show goes up on Friday. Actors are expected to arrive off book and to be flexible. I had only two weeks to memorize all of Miss Honey’s lines and songs. It was extremely rewarding to come to the first rehearsal and be able to jump right into learning blocking and learning harmonies.
