GREASEPAINT PLAYERS SEARCH FOR TEACHER IN “MISS NELSON IS MISSING”

Greensburg Civic Theatre’s Greasepaint Players present a family show that leads a teacher’s students to a better appreciation of her!  In the storyline of “Miss Nelson is Missing” by Jeffrey Hatcher, Miss Nelson’s class is the worst behaved in the whole school.  But the students of Room 207 are in for a surprise when Miss Nelson turns up missing and is replaced by Viola Swamp, a scary substitute teacher who assigns loads of homework and wields her ruler like a sword!  In desperation, the students set out to find their beloved Miss Nelson ... but will they ever get her back?
