Congratulations to everyone involved in our summer production of Roald Dahl's "Matilda the Musical" and thank you to all of our incredible audiences, season sponsors, and community partners for supporting Black Dirt Theater and the Performing Arts here in Hastings! We couldn’t do what we do without you!

With strike complete, sets taken down, costumes cleaned, props put away, scores returned, and lights turned off, we wanted to share the people behind the months of planning for our incredible summer production of “Matilda the Musical.”

Our production team begins meeting and planning for summer musicals many weeks before we even hold auditions to find our incredible casts. These people collaborate to bring the vision of the show to life and work tirelessly to make the experience the best it can be for our actors, volunteers, and audience members.

Thank you to our Matilda Production Team for all of your hard work over these past months!
