Miss Newman is in her 4th year of teaching at Woodland and she is over the moon to be bringing one of her favorite books from childhood to the Woodland stage. At WMS she has directed "Krazy Kamp", "High School Musical Jr.", "Night at the Wax Museum", "Annie Jr.", "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe," "Willy Wonka Jr.," "It's a Madhouse!," and now, "Matilda Jr."! Before moving back to Middle Tennessee, she got her degree at Lee University majoring in Theatre Education and minoring in Musical Theatre. She is so thankful to the Woodland administration and staff, for all their support and guidance. She is also proud beyond words of her imaginative cast and crew. Enjoy the show!

This is Ms. Bond's third and final year at Woodland, and she is thrilled to join the artistic staff and work with Woodland's amazing students! Ms. Bond loves working with singers of all ages, and in addition to her work at Woodland directs the Concert Choir with the Nashville Children's Choir at Belmont University and sings with the Nashville Symphony Chorus. Ms. Bond has a Music Education degree from Xavier University and a Masters in Choral Conducting from Temple University. She is grateful to Miss Newman and the fabulous enrichment teachers at Woodland. She congratulates the students for their hard work and dedication to this production!

Lily is an 8th grader and is beyond excited to be putting her dance and theater skills to use. She is a member of the Woodland lacrosse team and has performed in "Newsies" (Jack Kelly), "Annie" (Ensemble), and "Matilda" (Ensemble). She is also a part of Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Lily would like to thank her family for allowing her to take part in this program and Miss Newman for allowing her to be the first student choreographer. She would also like to thank God for leading her down this path and allowing her to be here.
