About the show:
It’s a dark and stormy night, and you’ve been invited to a remote mansion where six mysterious guests assemble for an unusual dinner party where murder and blackmail are on the menu. When their host turns up dead, the dinner guests become murder suspects. So whodunnit? Join the iconic oddballs known as Miss Scarlet, Mr. Green, Colonel Mustard, Mrs. White, Professor Plum, and Mrs. Peacock as they race to find the murderer while the body count stacks up.
Based on the 1985 cult classic film and the popular board game, “Clue: On Stage” is a madcap murder-mystery-comedy-thriller that will keep you guessing until the final twist.
Cast of Characters:
All roles are available. No prior theatrical or ACT experience is required. Roles are open to diverse & gender-inclusive casting.
WADSWORTH– (30+) a traditional British butler in every sense: uptight, formal and “by the book.” He is the driving force in the play.
YVETTE– (18-35) a loyal and sexy French maid.
MISS SCARLET– (30s-40s) a dry, sardonic D.C. madam, more interested in secrets than sex.
MRS. PEACOCK– (40+) the wealthy wife of a senator. A bit batty, neurotic, and quick to hysteria.
MRS. WHITE– (30s-40s) a morbid, and tragic woman. Mrs. White may or may not be the murderer of her five ex-husbands.
COLONEL MUSTARD– (40+) a puffy, pompous, dense, blowhard of a military man.
PROFESSOR PLUM– (35+) an arrogant academic, easily impressed by himself.
GREEN– (25-40) a timid yet officious rule follower. He’s awfully anxious
ENSEMBLE– (18+) three or four actors playing a variety of comedic parts throughout the show
