A Mysterious and Humorous Lesson in Kindness and Appreciation
The beloved children’s book comes to life in this lively stage adaptation filled with humor, mystery, and colorful characters! The mischievous students of Room 207 take advantage of their kind and patient teacher, Miss Nelson—until she suddenly disappears.
In her place arrives Viola Swamp, a frighteningly strict substitute who quickly brings order to the classroom. Desperate to find Miss Nelson, the students become detectives and begin searching for clues. Along the way, they recognize how their behavior affects others and discover just how much their teacher means to them.
Entertaining and meaningful, Miss Nelson Is Missing! encourages students to practice kindness, respect, responsibility, and appreciation while strengthening their understanding of story elements, character development, and problem-solving.
