Southfield School’s annual fundraiser, The Pie Run, is approaching! We have cash prizes for our male and female winners of the 10K, gift cards for our 5K winners, and a piece of pie for each participant at the finish line!

7th and 8th Grade Students Present

ROALD DAHL’S

MATILDA JR.

March 10-13, 2022

Sometimes You Have to Be a Little Bit Naughty if You Want to Change Your Story

Southfield School’s Street will be filled by the smell of rebellion when the Drama Department presents Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical, JR. Based on the beloved book “Matilda” by Roald Dahl and adapted from the award-winning full-length musical. Matilda The Musical JR. tells the story of an extraordinary girl who, armed with a vivid imagination and a sharp mind, dares to take a stand, and change her own destiny.

“One of my favorite moments early in the show is when Matilda sings, ‘Even if you are little you can do a lot’. It’s such a significant reminder for each of us, tall and small, to take ownership in how we can create our reality,” says Drama Director, Courtney Young. “Through the process of putting on this musical, these students are doing just that: they are joining together and working hard to create this extraordinary event for their community. We think they deserve a standing ovation for all their work.”

CONGRATS TO THE EXTRAORDINARY CAST!
