Auditions - Join The Cast!

Sunrise Players is holding auditions this January for our upcoming production of Matilda the Musical, performing in April 2026!

​

Matilda the Musical is a heartfelt, high-energy production based on Roald Dahl’s beloved story of a brilliant young girl with an extraordinary mind. Filled with unforgettable characters, clever storytelling, and show-stopping music, the musical celebrates the power of imagination, resilience, and standing up for what’s right. It’s a joyful, hilarious, and deeply moving journey for audiences of all ages.

Sunrise Players is thrilled to bring this magical tale to life with our signature blend of creativity, community, and heart. From bold choreography and colorful staging to powerful vocal performances, our production captures the humor, wonder, and emotion that make Matilda such a timeless favorite. We aim to create a theatrical experience that inspires, entertains, and leaves audiences cheering for the unexpected hero inside us all.

This spring show features roles for both kids and adults, making it a true community effort. Whether you're auditioning, volunteering, or attending as part of our audience, we invite you to be part of the magic. Join us as we bring Matilda’s world to the stage—full of courage, mischief, and unforgettable moments.
