Each year, over 150 undergraduate administrators, designers, technicians, actors, and musicians work together to mount a massive Broadway-style musical in Cahn Auditorium, Northwestern University’s grandest performance venue. Our mission is three-fold: to provide a new generation of artists and administrators with an unmatched production experience, to develop a vibrant community among this group of collaborators from across Northwestern’s campus, and to create a theatrical experience that celebrates musical theater and encourages reflection in its audiences. These experiences deepen the connections we make within this campus and strengthen our community through teamwork of a diverse group of passionate individuals hoping to grow in the understanding on all aspects of theater production and prepare for the future in whatever field one may desire to go into.This year, the Northwestern Dolphin Show will be presenting Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical, a musical about a young child gifted with telekinesis, a love of reading, and with the strength to overcome obstacles thrown at her and her peers.
