Centenary Stage's Young Audience Series returns with 'Miss Nelson'

HACKETTSTOWN — Centenary Stage Company’s Young Audience Series returns on Saturday, April 16 at 11 a.m. in the Little Theater to present the family favorite musical, "Miss Nelson is Missing." Written for the stage by Joan Cushing and adapted from the books “Miss Nelson is Missing!” and “Miss Nelson is Back!” by Harry Allard, this hilarious, quirky musical adventure entertains while lightheartedly instilling lessons of respect and appreciation.
Miss Nelson’s class is the worst-behaved in the whole school. With spitballs stuck to the ceiling and paper planes whizzing through the air, the students of Room 207 don’t proffer a shred of respect for their good-natured teacher, Miss Nelson. When the witchy substitute Miss Viola Swamp appears, the students quickly start to regret their own wicked ways and set out on a hilarious musically filled romp to restore their kind-hearted Miss Nelson to the head of the class.
"Miss Nelson is Missing" is a program of Centenary Stage Company’s Young Audience Series. CSC’s Young Audience Series is presented by Centenary College Theater Department’s NextStage Repertory, in collaboration with Centenary Stage Company.
