SUMMARY:Theatre of Youth "Miss Nelson is Missing" Sensory-Friendly Performance

Based on the book “Miss Nelson is Missing” and “Miss Nelson is Back” by HARRY ALLARD Illustrated by JAMES MARSHALL Spitballs flying across the room\, paper airplanes sailing every which way and uncontrollable children send the nice\, gentle\, long-suffering teacher\, Miss Nelson\, over the edge. But the students of Room 207 are in for a surprise when Miss Nelson is suddenly missing and is replaced by Miss Viola Swamp\, an awful\, super-scary\, meanest–substitute-teacher-ever who assigns a horrendous load of homework and wields her ruler like a sword! In desperation\, the students set out to find their beloved Miss Nelson….but will they get her back before it’s too late – for them?!\nMusic\, Book & Lyrics by JOAN CUSHING \n\nBook tickets online at www.theatreofyouth.org with access code 1N68 or by phone at 716-884-4400 ext. 304. \nA sponsorship from The Children’s Guild Foundation allows TOY to provide tickets for $5 for sensory-friendly performances (limit 6 per family).  Sensory-firendly performances start at 10:00 a.m.
