    William Allen Background

    I began taking photographs in Junior High with a very active and vibrant photo club. We learned all the fundamentals of film photography and printing. Later, I was fortunate enough to be able to take a Bachelor of Liberal Studies degree with Photography as my fine arts concentration.

    I have always traveled with a camera, and I’ve been fortunate enough to travel extensively in Canada. The most important thing I’ve learned is to simply seize the moment, take the picture with what you have and under the circumstances you are presented.

    Music & Lyrics by Tim Minchin

    Directed by Brian Mather

    Matilda is a little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence and a special power. She’s unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher, Miss Honey Trunchbull, the school’s headmistress, hates children and makes the lives of her pupils as miserable as possible. Matilda and Trunchbull are on a collision course. Add an acrobat, an escapologist, a salsa dancer and some Russian thugs to the mix and you have a complete entertainment package.
