Program: Clue (play) by Sandy Rustin.
Based on the beloved 1985 cult classic film, Clue - Live On Stage brings the whodunit comedy to theatrical life with all the mystery, mayhem, and murderous hilarity audiences adore. The story follows the iconic characters from the board game - Miss Scarlet, Colonel Mustard, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock, and Professor Plum - as they gather at a remote mansion for a dinner party that quickly turns deadly. With multiple possible endings just like the film, this stage adaptation preserves the rapid-fire wit, slapstick comedy, and intricate plotting that made the original a enduring favorite.

The production delivers the same breakneck energy as the film, with actors racing through secret passages, brandishing candlesticks, and delivering perfectly timed one-liners.

The interactive elements and multiple possible conclusions keep audiences guessing until the very end, making each performance feel fresh and engaging.
