SEEKING FOR ROLES
Adults - 2 Women, 2 Men
Miss Nelson (20s - 30s) - Sweet, Kind and perfect in every way. An elementary school teacher who loves her job and loves her students but is getting taken advantage of by her students. Isn’t a push over but has trouble asserting herself.
Miss Viola Swamp (20s - 30s) - Comically over the top. Mean and cruel. Remember the teacher in grade school that everyone dreaded' That’s Miss Swamp.
Principal Humleker (40s - 60s) - The Principal of the elementary school. Very proud of his position at the top of the food chain. Principal Humleker also has a song, but if you do not have a great singing voice, that can just make the character all the funnier.
Detective McSmogg (20s - 60s) - Confident, no nonsense but also clueless. Leslie Nielsen type.
Kids - 3 Girls, 4 Boys (all 8 - 10 years old)
Raymond - Smart but an outsider. The other kids pick on him. 
Phoebe - Shy and nerdy. Much like Raymond, she’s smart and an outsider. Likes Raymond.
George Jorgenson Jr - athlete, popular boy
Kimberly - Upscale, classy, popular girl. When Miss Nelson’s class gets to high school, Kimberly will be the head cheerleader.
Morris (or Mouse) - Little guy, runs in all the circles. Tries to stick with George.
Lavita - Little spit fire. Tom boy. Just as likely to punch you in the nose as say something nice about you.
Elvis - Weird. Stands out, A LOT. Like his namesake, Elvis acts like a greaser from the 50s even though he’s a student in 2020.
