Curtains Up Pagosa “Matilda the Musical” will burst onto the Curtains Up Pagosa (CUP) stage in just two weeks.
What makes this production special is the predominant role of Pagosa’s young actors. Twenty-seven children and young adults from our community are featured in CUP’s version of “Matilda”, as they sing and dance their way through the heartwarming story of a young girl who overcomes challenges at home and school by utilizing her special powers to help her classmates and teacher.
Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for students and can be purchased online, or at the door prior to the performance.
With the end of the Pagosa Springs school year, preparations have intensified, with the cast learning their roles during energetic three-hour rehearsals most week nights. Co-Director Krisha Doocy notes, “It’s been an absolute joy to be part of Matilda. I’ve been so impressed by our young performers: Their ability to learn songs, choreography, and staging with such dedication is truly inspiring.”
“Matilda” will be performed on the Pagosa Springs High School auditorium stage for three evening shows at 7pm, June 26, 27 and 28, with a 2pm matinee on June 28.
CUP is your community theater, utilizing the talents of actors, theater technicians and the Pagosa Springs Community Band. We survive only through the generosity of sponsors, hundreds of volunteer hours and certainly through your attendance at our productions.
