The Brooklyn High School Drama Club unveiled their 2022 Spring musical, the 1996 Disney classic: Matilda!

This film tells the story of Matilda, who is a very gifted girl and forced to put up with a crude, distant father and mother. Agatha Trunchbull, who is a terrifyingly-strict bully, happens to be the principal at Matilda’s school. However, when Matilda realizes she has the power of telekinesis, she begins to defend her friends by fighting back from Trunchbull’s and her parents’ wrath.

When asked why Matilda was chosen for this year’s play, Mrs. Kimberly Cipriani (Play/Musical Coordinator and BHS Choir teacher) responded: “I chose Matilda because I wanted to get younger students involved, and it is a fun one that we haven’t done yet. We lost a large number of seniors last year, and we need to rebuild a little bit.”

Pictured above is the Crew from last year’s play Freaky Friday, led by Art teacher Mr. Christopher Kaspar. He is “excited to see the group working together again from start to finish on this year’s play.” 

If you are interested in joining the cast, pit band, or crew, auditions for cast are November 3-9. For questions about the pit band and crew, see Mr. Kaspar and Mr. Sean Sullivan.  

This will be a lot of fun. 

 Disney’s Matilda is coming soon!
