Miss Nelson Has a Field Day will be on stage Sept. 16–Oct. 2 at the Arkansas Arts Center Children's Theatre.

The Arkansas Arts Center Children’s Theatre will open its 2011-12 season with “Miss Nelson Has a Field Day” running Sept. 16-Oct. 2. The Horace B. Smedley Tornadoes are a pitiful, undisciplined losing football team. It's all that the kids in Room 207 can talk about. Can the world's meanest substitute teacher whip the team into shape in time for the big game? You won't believe what happens when the notorious Viola Swamp returns! Come cheer for the Tornadoes at 7 p.m. Fridays, 3 p.m. Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays. Tickets are $11 for children and $14 for adults. For info and tickets: 372-4000.
