Prairie High School in Brush Prairie is preparing to open its spring musical later this month, with students scheduled to present a full production of Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical from February 27 through March 7. The performance dates were announced in a report by Clark County Today.

The show, based on the popular novel and its long‑running stage adaptation, features a cast of Prairie High School students and is expected to draw families from across Clark and Cowlitz counties. School performing arts events in north Clark County often serve residents in Woodland, Kalama, and other southern Cowlitz communities, where opportunities for youth theater are more limited and regional school productions frequently function as shared cultural spaces.

While Prairie High School has not yet released detailed ticketing information through its public channels as of February 17, the performance window provides families time to plan attendance across two weekends. High‑school‑run productions typically post updates through district communications or activity calendars, and residents interested in attending may look for upcoming information from Battle Ground Public Schools.

Why this matters

Community arts events remain a central gathering point in smaller and mid‑sized communities along the I‑5 corridor. For Cowlitz County residents, school productions in northern Clark County often bridge geographic and resource gaps, giving families accessible performing‑arts experiences without traveling to Portland or Olympia. Announcements such as Prairie High School’s upcoming musical help keep the region’s cultural calendar visible and connected.
