The Joseph P. Keefe Technical High School Drama Club will perform Miss Nelson is Missing on Friday at 7 p.m. in the high school's auditorium. Open to the general public, tickets are $5 and may be purchased at the door.

Based on the children’s book written by Harry G.

The production is being directed by teacher-advisors, Erin Bengiovanni, Valerie Rector, and Paul Kelley.

Established in January 2009, the Keefe Drama Club is open to students in all grade levels and acting experience is not required to join the club. In addition to offering students the opportunity to act and learn technical and backstage skills, the drama club teaches students about teamwork and creativity, and helps build confidence and friendships within the club.
