Little Theatre of Owatonna has announced auditions for its summer production of Miss Nelson is Missing!

The auditions will take place on Sunday, April 23 and Monday, April 24 from 6:30-8:00 pm at the Sharon Stark Auditorium. Larry Ostermeier is the Director and Kristi Westergaard the Technical Director.

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.
