Adult actors are needed for a Theatre For Young Audience show titled MISS NELSON IS MISSING. Because this production is for young audiences, your storytelling and comedic abilities are important to us for this audition. We want to see your comedic capabilities and your creativity!
Miss Nelson’s class is the worst-behaved class in the whole school. Spitballs flying across the room, paper airplanes sailing every which way, and uncontrollable children send gentle, long-suffering Miss Nelson over the edge. But the students of Room 207 are in for a surprise when Miss Nelson goes missing and is replaced by Viola Swamp, a no-nonsense substitute who assigns piles of homework! The students learn lessons of appreciation and respect as they set out to find their beloved Miss Nelson … but will they ever get her back?
