It’s a dark and stormy night, and everyone’s a suspect! Featuring a mansion, a murder and a mystery, CLC theatre’s production of "Clue" is hitting the James Lumber Center for the Performing Arts’ (JLC) Studio stage Friday, Nov. 6 to Sunday, Nov. 8 and Thursday, Nov. 12 to Saturday, Nov. 14.

Enjoy this cult classic performance based upon the film and popular board game along with a cast of oddball characters that have been invited to a very unusual dinner party.

Each of the guests has an alias, the butler offers a variety of weapons and the host is, well, dead. So, whodunit? Join the iconic oddballs known as Scarlet, Plum, White, Green, Peacock and Mustard as they race to find the murderer in Boddy Manor before the body count stacks up.

"Clue is a hilarious who-done-it based on the 1985 cult classic," said Director Dylan Roberts. "Audiences will find that laughter is abundant, as they follow their favorite characters solving the case of Mr. Boddy."

Join us for this iconic madcap comedy that’ll keep you guessing until the final twist. You better have your alibi ready when you come see this show!
