Theatre
When the misbehaving class of room 207’s sweet teacher, Miss Nelson, mysteriously disappears, and is replaced by the strict substitute, Miss Viola Swamp, the students quickly regret their behavior and search for Miss Nelson with the help of a bumbling detective.
Wildly entertaining for children and teachers alike, the play is full of tonue0in-cheek humor, zany characters with a “thrilling” twist! Enjoy this energetic, fast-paced comedy, all while exploring philosophical themes such as identity, respect, fear, power, and deception. This is the ultimate back-to-school production. Accept no substitutes!
