When sweet Miss Nelson disappears, her unruly class must face the mysterious Miss Viola Swamp in this playful family favorite.

Chaos reigns in Room 207 when the kind and gentle Miss Nelson mysteriously vanishes. In her place arrives the strict and mysterious Miss Viola Swamp, whose tough love teaches the students lessons they never expected.
Full of humor, mischief, and a playful twist, this lively stage adaptation of the beloved picture book shows how a little kindness (and a little mystery) can transform even the naughtiest classroom.
The kids in Room 207 were misbehaving again.Harry Allard, Miss Nelson Is Missing!
Miss Nelson Is Missing! began as a 1977 picture book by Harry Allard and James Marshall that has charmed young readers for decades.
The book was such a hit that it grew into a series, with Miss Nelson Is Back and Miss Nelson Has a Field Day following close behind.
The mystery of the dreaded substitute in the ugly black dress has kept kids guessing (and giggling) for generations.
The full cast will be announced soon. Here is the creative team leading the way.
