In late April, Ada High School presented three performances of Roald Dahl’s Matilda, the Musical. The play is a darkly entertaining take on parent-child relationships and school days. The names of musical numbers reflect the cynical tone: “Naughty,” “Chokey Chant,” “Smell of Rebellion,” “Revolting Children.”

The musical was directed by teachers Scott Henning and Carter Bivens.
