2012-2013 Educational Performances by The Barter Players at NPAC
Miss Nelson is Missing- THIS SHOW IS FULL
A musical based on the book by Harry Allard & James Marshall Book, Music & Lyrics by Joan Cushing; Recommended for K-3
At Horace Smedley Elementary School the kids of Room 207 are famous...for being bad. Despite the best efforts of their kind teacher, Miss Nelson, these fifth graders wreak havoc each day in the classroom. Spitballs fly, paper airplanes soar, and no one has done their homework in weeks. After one particularly bad day, Miss Nelson simply does not return to school. In her place, comes a substitute teacher who would make a crocodile look cuddly: the nefarious Viola Swamp. She is dressed like a witch and gives them so much homework that they are certain they will die. Finally the kids of 207 decide to take matters into their own hands by hiring a detective to find their dear Miss Nelson, and FAST!

A Thousand Cranes
Written by Kathryn Shultz Miller
Rights granted by Dramatic Publishing Company, Recommended for Grades 4-6
This is the true story of Sadako Sasaki who inspired the world with her bravery in the aftermath of the bombing of Hiroshima, Japan. Her quest to fold a thousand origami cranes in pursuit of a wish has caused millions of children from all over the world to fold cranes for peace. This beautiful play pulls from traditional forms of Japanese drama to celebrate Sadako’s hope and the hope of all the children who have worked to honor her.
