This season AACT is creating an opportunity to take a show on the road, reaching young audiences in surrounding areas that don't usually have access to live theatre. A teen cast will perform one weekend in Auburn and one weekend at a variety of locations. The Traveling AACTors will bring a favorite story to life: "Miss Nelson Is Missing!" (written by Henry Allard and adapted by Jeff Hatcher) tells the story of a teacher that 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. Laughter and action for all ages guaranteed. $8 for children, students and seniors , $10 for adults
