Foster their love of theatre and give them a fun outing to remember with the gift of tickets to Matilda JR. The family-friendly musical production is coming to Sherwood Park’s Festival Place for six performances in February 2024 and we think it would be a perfect experience gift to slip into the stocking or wrap up under the Christmas tree!

When it comes to kids, you can’t really go wrong with anything that involves the colorful characters and imaginative stories of author Roald Dahl. The beloved story Matilda is likely one they already know and will love seeing come to life on stage through music and dance! Audience members of all ages will delight in this classic underdog tale starring the extraordinary Matilda as she learns to channel her psychokinetic powers and finds the courage to rebel against the cruel adults that surround her. The only thing missing from the sensory-filled experience will be a taste of Miss Trunchbull’s chocolate cake!

Matilda Jr. is for kids, by kids. This spectacular theatrical production will be put on by the talented Festival Players, a dedicated group of students who have been working hard to bring the full-length musical to life. From the set design and costumes to the music and choreography, they always put on a fantastic show!

Tickets to see Matilda JR. at Festival Place are $29/adult and $20/child (12 and under), making it a great value for live theatre. Buy your tickets now to surprise your loved one and give a memorable experience to look forward to once all the other holiday gifts have been unwrapped and played with!

Family Fun Edmonton wants to help you make more memories and gift less “stuff” this holiday season! We are looking beyond the store shelves to find the best experience gifts to wrap up and stuff those stockings with. Give your loved ones the opportunity to try a new activity, find new passions, and discover joy through the gift of interesting new experiences. Your non-conventional gift could be the perfect way to encourage time together during the holidays and bring added closeness throughout the year!
