Evolve Theatrics, formerly the Blue Light Players, are proud to announce that their production of "Matilda, The Musical" will take place on August 13, 14, and 15 at the Lakewood HS Performing Arts Center in Lake Odessa, MI.
This production was less than a month from opening when the pandemic hit in March 2020. We made a promise to our cast members that given the opportunity, we would not give up on their dream of performing this show. In June 2021, we decided to undertake an ambitious six week rehearsal schedule to bring "Matilda" to the stage. With the exception of Bruce, all of our little kids are in new roles and we had to replace Matilda, Miss Honey, Mr. Wormwood, Michael, and our Escapologist.
Not only have we survived this aggressive rehearsal schedule, we have thrived in the process. The joy of performing and creating theater can be felt in every rehearsal. Our 28 cast members can't wait to welcome our audiences and truly demonstrate that "even if you are little, you can do a lot”.
Socially distanced seating will be in effect for all performances and audience members are strongly encouraged to wear masks. In an effort to cut back on social interaction, there will be no tickets available at the door. However, tickets may be purchased online or on a smartphone up until curtain time each night. All seats are reserved and for more details, you may visit our website at: http://www.evolvetheatrics.com
