Berkeley Courtney-Moore
as Matilda Wormwood
Berkeley is 10 and has been dreaming about being in ‘Matilda’ since she saw it on Broadway three years ago! She was last seen at TST as Randy Parker in ‘A Christmas Story the Musical’ and John Bechdel in ‘Fun Home’. Other favorite stage credits: Jojo in ‘Seussical’ (Praeclara), Mush in ‘Newsies’ (ACT), Michael Banks in ‘Mary Poppins’ and Helen Keller in ‘The Miracle Worker’ (The Royal), and ‘Macbeth’ (TheRep). You can see Berkeley as Jane Banks in ‘Mary Poppins’ at Murry’s Dinner Playhouse later this summer. Film/TV credits: God’s Not Dead 3; HBO’s True Detective 3. Berkeley thanks Justin for believing in her and for this incredible opportunity to work with such a talented cast and crew. Also a big thank you to Bridget, Angela, Anna, her big sister, Brooklyn, and her mom and dad for everything! She hopes everyone leaves loving “Matilda the Musical” as much as she does!
