Here’s the perfect play for elementary and middle schools wanting to do a lighthearted mystery that does not involve murder or weapons of any sort.
Young members of a community club solicit the town’s eccentric inventor, a strange scientist named Dr. VonDrugen, for help with a clean-up project at a local park. When the go-getters find themselves trapped in the house with mysterious disappearances and occurrences happening left and right, they start to wonder if the rumors really are true... could Dr. VonDrugen be a mad scientist turning children into cats?! To add to the mayhem, a group of school bullies shows up to try to scare the students away. After all, if Dr. VonDrugen helps them clean up the park, they’ll have to find a new hangout! Just when you think things can’t get any weirder, they do... and everyone, including the audience, is surprised one last time! Fun, quirky characters and plot twists make this play the cat’s meow!
