MATILDA's Mia Sinclair Jenness to Star in KOTA's THE HUNDRED DRESSES

KOTA Productions presents the New York City premiere of Mary Hall Surface's adaptation of The Hundred Dresses, Oct 13-23, 2016 at the Dorothy Strelsin Theatre.

Eleanor Estes' 1945 Newbery Honor, The Hundred Dresses, tells the story of Wanda Petronski, a Polish girl in a Connecticut school who is ridiculed by her classmates for claiming she has one hundred dresses. This timeless tale addresses the hurt inflicted by teasing and the painful consequences for bystanders who fail to act courageously, when they have the power to make a change.

The cast features Mia Sinclair Jenness (Les Miserables, Matilda) as Madeline Reeves, Danielle Gordon (Les Miserables) as Wanda Petronski, Spike Christie as Jan Petronski/Mr. Svenson, Luisa Maria Badaracco (Joy) as Shelly Reeves, Benton Sheely (A Little Princess) as Miss Mason, Kaci Walfall (The Lion King, Matilda) as Peggy Thomas, Presley Ryan (Fun Home, The Grinch) as Cecile Allen, William Poon (The King & I) as Willie Bounce, Sean Reda (Les Miserables) as Jack Beggles, and Stephen Sayegh (Pippin) as Jacob Petronski.

Creative team includes scenic design by Rob Lavagno, lighting design by AaRon Porter, costumes by Lucy Luc and sound design by Alex Bird. Directed/Produced by Laura Luc.

The Dorothy Strelsin Theatre is located at 312 W 36th St, New York, NY 10018. Tickets may be purchased online at www.KOTAProductions.com.
