Abstract
This senior project detailed my rehearsal process and character work I completed for UMW Theatre’s production of Matilda: the Musical written by Dennis Kelly with music and lyrics by Tim Menchin, which played from November 2-19. As an actor, I documented my experiences in rehearsal leading up to the show and I recorded my work with Hagen’s nine questions to familiarize myself with the character. I completed personal research on the world of Matilda and the controversies of Dahl’s writing in addition to other character research. Additionally, I documented my experience during each performance, culminating in a final reflection after our final bow.
