Preview: ‘Miss Nelson Has A Field Day’ at Harris Center

One day, Miss Nelson went missing, and everything changed. Then, Miss Nelson came back, and that was a wild ride. And can anyone forget when Miss Nelson had a field day and ruled over the school football team with an iron fist? Now, Miss Nelson leaps from book pages to the stage, in Dallas Children’s Theater’s musical adaptation, Miss Nelson Has a Field Day. And though Miss Nelson whips the young athletes into shape while disguised as her evil alter ego, Miss Viola Swamp, is it also possible that by forcing them to reach near-impossible physical standards, she’s inflicting long-lasting psychological damage on these kiddos? Not a good look, Miss Nelson.
