MISS NELSON IS MISSING! – THE MUSICAL – Sunday, February 28, 2027 @ 3pm

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 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?

*This production is part of our “Page to Stage” program for the Yadkin County Elementary Schools and is based on taking a popular children’s book and bringing it to life on stage as a play or musical. The Willingham Performing Arts Academy casts local grade school students in the character roles giving them the opportunity to develop their skills on stage and to fuel their ambition to continue with training and education in the arts. During the week leading up to these public performances, the Yadkin Arts Council arranges for the Yadkin County Schools’ 2nd & 3rd graders to be transported over to the Willingham Theater to experience this show live in person. In addition the Yadkin Arts Council will purchase copies of the books for all of the participating classrooms, school’s media centers, and public libraries in Yadkin County.
