Background:

The musical follows the general storyline of the Matilda movie with Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman that most people have seen.

The musical is based on a book by Roald Dahl.  It is set in England and focuses on the character, Matilda, a brilliant and spunky child who is born into a family that is a bit less brilliant.  Her Dad is a used car salesman who has a “flexible” take on honesty.  Her mom is an amateur ballroom dancer more into looks than intelligence.

Matilda is sent to a school run by Ms. Trunchbull – a terrifying former hammer throwing champion.  She also meets a wonderful teacher who understands her, Miss Honey.

The message of the story is that everyone has the power to change their own story, and that being “little” is no excuse for not standing up for yourself.  One of the best lyrics is “Even if you’re little you can do a lot, you mustn’t let a little thing like little stop you.”

The musical is both hilarious and touching as it follows Matilda and her friends as they stand up for themselves against some wayward adults in their lives.

10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY… ALL THINGS MOORE COUNTY – KIRSTEN FOYLES

Posted on by

10 years is a good time to establish a benchmark when creating a perspective.

This is the 10th Anniversary of the radio show, ALL THINGS MOORE COUNTY.

One of the guests on that very first show in August of 2009 was Kirsten Foyles.

Kirsten is a local attorney, a mother of 3 accomplished daughters and most recently has a newly minted Masters Degree in choral music.

I first met Kirsten Foyles as a real estate attorney when she was at Thigpen & Jenkins.  In the 20 years I have known Kirsten we have had a chance to work together in many different ways, and I’ve had a chance to watch her raise her family first hand.

The conversation with Kirsten flows easily.  When you have a history and a background it’s easy to compare notes over these past 10 years.

The last 10 years have been full of changes, perspectives and outlooks for both of us.

Thank you Kirsten Foyles for being a guest on this particular show.Continue reading→
