Join us at the PACE Center (20000 Pikes Peak Ave., Parker, CO 80138) on Wednesday, April 24 from noon to 1:05 p.m. for a performance especially for K-5 students. (All ages are welcome, but the show is for K-5.) We have 80 tickets available on a first come, first served basis. Money will be due to the front desk by March 5. 

Based on the popular children's book--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.

Grade Level: K-5 (Ages 4-10)
Run Time: 65 minutes
