Miss Nelson can’t control her crazy classroom because she’s just too nice. But when she disappears, her substitute is the no-nonsense Viola Swamp! With the big test approaching, the kids suddenly realize how much they miss their Miss Nelson… and they’ll do anything to get her back!
ABOUT THE PLAY
Miss Nelson’s class is the worst behaved in the whole school. Spitballs flying across the room, paper airplanes sailing every which way and uncontrollable kids send the gentle, long-suffering teacher, Miss Nelson, over the edge. However, the students of Room 207 are in for a surprise when Miss Nelson goes missing and is replaced by Viola Swamp, a scary substitute teacher who assigns mountains of homework and wields her ruler like a sword! The students set out to find their beloved Miss Nelson, but will they ever get her back? This musical, based on the much-loved classic book by Harry Allard and James Marshall, teaches important lessons about appreciation and respect.
