AUDITIONS
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.
Miss Nelson is Missing is Merrill Arts Center's annual By-Kids-For-Kids show! Cast members will get the chance learn new, exciting skills and maybe get a little dirty in our Maker's Studios taught by working theatre designers. Cast members will work alongside the designers to create the scenery, props and costumes for the show!
2-4 Teen and/or Adult Actors (2 F, 2 M) for the roles of Miss Nelson, Miss Viola Swamp, Principal Humleker, Dectective McSmogg
12-24 child actors for the roles of the children in Miss Nelson's classroom
Auditions: August 7th, 2022 1:00pm to 4:00pm
Callbacks will be August 14th , 2022 1:00 to 6:00pm
Auditionees: memorize and perform a 1-2 minute cutting from your favorite storybook or play, be expressive & make bold choices! Not all classroom kids have speaking roles, but everyone has to be able to work in front of an audience. We are looking for diction and expression and volume from kids and adults seeking speaking roles. Just expression and bravery from kids seeking ensemble roles.
