GLENS FALLS, N.Y., June 30, 2021, For Immediate Release – The Glens Falls Community Theatre will be

presenting free outdoor performances of two children’s classics this summer for children and families to

enjoy at the bandshell in Crandall Park. Shows will take place on Tuesday evenings in July and August

Miss Nelson is Missing!

The season kicks off on Tuesday July 6th with “Miss Nelson is Missing,” the story of a sweet elementary

school teacher, Miss Nelson, who after failing to take control over her unruly class at Horace B. Smedley

School, she decides to shift her soft approach. Miss Viola Swamp, a real witch of a substitute, slinks into

the classroom to whip the students into shape, thus leading the students to believe that Miss Nelson is

Missing!

Additional performances will take place on July 13, 20 and 27, all at 6:30 PM

Charlotte’s Web

“Charlotte’s Web,” the warm and wonderful children’s classic, will come to life on Tuesday’s this August

at 6:30 pm. The show is directed by Erin Coon and tells the story of how Charlotte the spider saves the

life of Wilbur the pig. The cast features Lauren Whiting as Wilbur and Camille West Wodicka as

Charlotte, along with talented cast portraying the animals and humans. Both shows were selected to be

enjoyed by younger audiences and families.

Food Trucks
