</element><element id="paragraph-1" type="body"><![CDATA[Cameo Theatre is bringing to the Eldorado Elementary School stage "Mystery on 13th Street," a light-hearted mystery.

Show times are 2 p.m. Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday and 7 p.m. Monday at the Eldorado Elementary School gym.

The town's children are wanting to raise money to rebuild their park that was damaged in a tornado. They decide there is a need to solicit a donation from eccentric scientist Dr. Von Drugen who is rumored to possess the ability to change children into cats. The children find themselves trapped in a spooky house having to confront their own fears and enemies with agendas opposed to park clean up.

Co-Director Linda Phelps said she excited Dr. Von Drugen is being played by Niklas Welsch, an exchange student from Germany with a perfect accent for his part.

"Things are going really well, especially with so many kids involved in school activities who have had to miss rehearsals, but they're doing a good job. A great job," Phelps said.

Phelps and John Russell are directing the play that was written by Shari Potter. The cast is made up of 19 kids between ages 8 and 17 from Saline and Gallatin counties.

Cameo Theatre is a community theater group with one performance for kids a year and one for adults. The goal is to expose young people to the stage and performing arts. Your ticket purchase is bringing more opportunities for youth and the community.

Tickets are $8 for adults and $6 for kids. More information is available at 273-4247 or 499-2802.
