Meeting of the LJCC Governing Board

Join us at 6:30p for a community Havdalah, and for LJCC members with kiddos (ages 6-13) drop them off with our wonderful staff and head out for dinner afterward. Parents' night out is a fun-filled evening for children ages 6-13, complete with pizza and snacks, engaging games, creative crafts, and exciting activities all under the watchful eye of our experienced and caring staff. $10 per child. LJCC members only.   We want to encourage community through this event, so consider organizing dinner as a group.

Matilda JR is the story of an extraordinary little girl with extraordinary powers. The daughter of abusive parents, Matilda finds refuge in library books, which she reads quickly and in creating her own stories. Things are no better at school, where Matilda also must face a tyrannical and cruel headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, who believes in Crunchem Hall’s motto: “Bambinatum est Magitum,” or “Children are Maggots.” She finds companionship in her teacher, Miss Honey, who, though well-intentioned, is shy and fragile. Brave little Matilda knows she has to stand up against the adults in her world, and in doing so, discovers her own remarkable powers. Matilda’s bravery teaches Miss Honey and her classmates an important lesson — that even though life can be hard, “nobody but me is gonna change my story” so “sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty.”   Doors open 30 minutes before show time. Show runs a little over an hour. Directed by Alie B. Gorrie and Assitant Directed by Kristin Staskowski.
