Miss Nelson Is Missing

Based on the books by Harry Allard, Adapted by Jeffery Hatcher

Directed by Krista Schwarting

Show runs February 26th-March 4th

Open to Actors Ages 8-18 yrs old

Miss Nelson can't control her crazy classroom because she's just too nice. But when she disappears, her replacement is the hard-as-nails, detention-loving, recess-canceling, homework-overloading substitute teacher Viola Swamp! With the Big Test approaching, the kids suddenly realize how much they miss Miss Nelson and they'll do anything -- including hiring a private eye -- to solve the mystery of her disappearance and bring her back.

*This run includes 3 school show performances, where actors will need to miss a half-day of school!*

Each actor will have roughly five minutes with the director and stage manager to present a monologue of around a minute or less. The director might ask for you to present part of the monologue again, with a redirect to see you make a different choice! If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact austynd@alaskatheatreofyouth.org

Audition forms available here, fill out prior to auditioning if possible!

If you don't already have a monologue to use, please feel free to choose one from here. The monologue does not need to be memorized, but we encourage you to be familiar with it!
